Legal Staffing Agency in Washington, DC
Legal talent for deadlines that don’t move — bar-admitted contract attorneys, experienced paralegals and litigation support staff for DC law firms, corporate legal departments and government contractors, often within 48 hours.
Legal Staffing, Done Properly
For a two-week document review, a six-month paralegal gap or a permanent associate.
We Know What A Missed Deadline Costs
Quenby was founded in 2008 by a former litigation paralegal and a trial attorney who had both spent too many nights re-doing work from under-qualified temporary staff. So we built a legal staffing firm that behaves like a law firm: conflict checks before every placement, bar admissions verified with the issuing court, and reviewers tested on privilege calls before they touch a client's documents.
Today we staff law firms, corporate legal departments and government contractors across DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia.
- ✓Conflict checks completed before placement
- ✓Bar admissions verified with the issuing court
- ✓Privilege and responsiveness testing for reviewers
- ✓Secure remote review environments available

Admissions Verified

If a placement isn't right in the first week, a replacement starts at no extra charge.
From Request To Review Team
Scope The Matter
Volume, deadline, platform, bar admissions and any clearance requirements.
Conflicts And Shortlist
Conflict checks run the same day, with qualified candidates presented within 48 hours.
Onboard On Your Platform
Reviewers trained on your protocol and platform before the first batch.
Weekly Reporting
Pace, accuracy and hours reported weekly, with a QC lead on larger teams.
Trusted By DC Firms And Legal Professionals
We had eleven days to review two million documents for a second request. Quenby staffed twenty-four contract attorneys with the right bar admissions in two days, and their QC lead kept the privilege calls consistent.
The paralegal they placed with us already knew our docketing system and was drafting production letters in her first week. We hired her permanently three months later.
Between clerkships and a permanent role, Quenby kept me on interesting review projects with firms I actually wanted to work with. They also negotiated a better rate than I would have.
