Specific Areas of Practice

Hiring per diem attorneys with certain skills or knowledge, such as those with a background in personal injury litigation, residential foreclosure proceedings, bankruptcy or Surrogate's Court matters, are a valuable resource for cases requiring specific knowledge. 

Calendar pages; Using per diem attorneys can help improve court calendar management.

Improve Calendar Management

Per diem attorneys offer coverage as needed, filling the gaps on appearance-heavy days, where there are not enough in-house attorneys to go around, or they can provide that last-minute save when a matter was mis-calendared.

Local Knowledge

Per diem attorneys often cover conferences, hearings and motions in the same parts and before the same Judges, so they tend to have a deep knowledge and understanding of local rules and protocols.

Increase Profits

Routine calendar calls, status conferences, and motion dates can eat up the time of associates who often get delayed waiting in Court, or stuck in traffic, thus burning non-billable time that could be better spent on discovery, motions, trial preparation or other billable tasks.
