What Is Hourly Legal Support & Why It Matters for Small Law Firms
By NovaLex, LLC — Legal Operations & Litigation Support Services
Running a law practice requires more than legal knowledge — it demands time, organization, and the ability to manage dozens of tasks simultaneously. For small and mid-sized law firms, this workload can quickly become overwhelming, especially when unexpected cases or deadlines appear.
This is where Hourly Legal Support becomes essential.
At NovaLex, LLC, we provide flexible, dependable hourly support designed to help attorneys stay productive, meet deadlines, and operate with confidence — without the cost of hiring full-time staff.

- Solo practitioners
- Small and growing law firms
