Bilingual paralegals do everything a standard paralegal does (research, drafting, case management and trial prep) while also working directly with Spanish-speaking clients. That makes them especially valuable for personal injury, immigration, family and workers' compensation firms where many clients prefer to communicate in Spanish.
Our bilingual paralegals support Spanish-speaking clients across the practice areas where language matters most.
Don’t need Spanish? Browse all paralegals. Need administrative support with Spanish-speaking clients instead? Hire bilingual legal assistants.
Bilingual paralegals might hold a Bachelor's degree in Law or similar, and some in our network are licensed attorneys in their home country. Language skills are what set this role apart.
Run part of the interview in Spanish. Ask the candidate to explain a simple legal process, such as what happens after a client signs a retainer, as they would to a client. You're listening for clarity and a professional, reassuring tone, not just vocabulary.
Look for experience translating declarations, medical records or immigration evidence, and ask how they handle legal terms that don't translate directly. A short written translation test is a quick way to check accuracy.
Bilingual paralegals often become the main point of contact for Spanish-speaking clients. Ask how they handle anxious or upset clients and how they keep attorneys informed.
Look out for experience in the case management software your firm already uses, such as Clio, MyCase, Smokeball, CasePeer or Docketwise.
