About Us
Since 2011, Ben Marvazi, CEO of RemoteLegalStaff, has run a successful video production studio, creating videos for law firms. This work gave him an in-depth understanding of the legal industry’s unique challenges, especially the difficulty in finding qualified legal staff without overspending.
In conversations with clients and lawyer friends, Ben repeatedly heard about the struggle to hire and retain top-tier talent, a problem that affected firms of all sizes. Ben has always believed that hiring and managing employees are the most crucial elements of a business and its competitive advantage.
Ben’s extensive experience in hiring offshore staff for over 20 years across various businesses made him realize the potential of leveraging global talent for the legal sector. He discovered a wealth of highly skilled legal professionals worldwide eager to work remotely but lacking local opportunities.
This insight sparked the idea for RemoteLegalStaff. Our mission is simple: connect law firms with exceptional legal talent globally, making quality staffing accessible and affordable. Based in Los Angeles, we serve clients all over the U.S., handling everything from vetting and hiring to managing and monitoring, ensuring seamless integration for clients.
Today, RemoteLegalStaff, under Ben Marvazi’s leadership, helps law firms thrive while providing meaningful employment to legal professionals worldwide.
