How the desk runs
One platform, from the rate to the self-bill.
Find who is coming free
Legal desks place the same people repeatedly across matters, so your own record is the fastest first call. The record tells you who is finishing and when, before the vacancy is even open.
Rate, margin and status
The charge rate, the pay rate and the margin sit on the placement, with the contract status and IR35 position recorded alongside them.
Brief that matches the work
Contracts here run on paralegals, solicitors and legal secretaries. What the firm is judging is whether the lawyer is admitted, conflict-free and ready for the matter, so that is what the submission has to evidence.
Extensions on the same line
An extension runs against the existing placement rather than a new one, so the rate history, the end dates and the whole assignment stay together.
Self-bill and contractor pay
PAYE for fixed-term cover, with umbrella and limited for day-rate lawyers, produced from approved hours, with self-bill documents drawn from the same figures and the firm invoiced in the same run.
Margin against forecast
Dashman shows assignment progress, placement fees and where offers stall.
Checks and clearances
Admitted and conflict-checked before the placement
Practising status and conflict position sit on the candidate record, so a placement is put forward on evidence rather than assumption.
