Legal Associated Temp Agency (LATA), a full-service temp agency, provides Portland/Vancouver a network of experienced and qualified temp attorneys. While this market has been served in part by larger general temp agencies, it is not fully covered. LATA will provide a higher-quality alternative to the current supply of temp attorneys. LATA will appeal to small- to mid-sized law firms who are in need of some temp legal help for individual projects.
LATA is also attractive to firms looking for an associate, but who want to test the lawyer for a period of time. LATA’’s service allows the firm to hire a temporary attorney to work for three months, then decide whether they want to make them a permanent employee. This reduces the risk involved in hiring people you don’t know. LATA will find their niche in the Portland legal market.
The projected growth rate for LATA is 107% by year three, with gross margins at 100% as a percent of sales.
