Why Pennsylvania Law Firms Hire Remote Legal Assistants
Philadelphia has one of the largest legal markets in the country outside New York and DC. Per the Philadelphia Bar Association, greater Philly has more than 13,000 practicing attorneys across firms of every size. Center City firms handle corporate, litigation, and financial services work; mid-sized firms in University City, Bala Cynwyd, and Fort Washington dominate personal injury, family, real estate, and estate planning. Pittsburgh carries a substantial corporate law footprint around UPMC, PNC Financial, and energy clients. The admin headcount to support billable attorneys is a constant line item, and the Philadelphia legal assistant market per Glassdoor runs $52,000 to $72,000, or $4,800 to $6,500 loaded.
