Legal Tech Talent Network, a leading staffing and recruiting firm for the legal industry, today announces a partnership with Kruse & Associates, a human resources outsourcing firm, to bring fully insured W-2 consultants to legal teams. Rather than hiring independent contractors that are uninsured or underinsured, clients now have access to the best talent while taking on less risk.
As the IRS and state and local governments crack down on companies hiring independent contractors on a 1099 basis, it is important to remain in compliance and avoid having legal trouble arise when an independent contractor may be considered an employee in the eyes of the law. Under the partnership, Kruse & Associates will serve as the employer of record legally responsible for handling administration and payment of employee taxes, benefits, insurance and many other operations concerning human resources and therefore taking on all liability, including employment, medical benefits, tax and insurance.
Through this partnership, LTTN provides fully insured W-2 expert contract and project-based legal software consultants to law firms, corporate legal teams and government entities nationwide at a fraction of the rate charged by standard consultancies. When working with LTTN, consultants will have critical protection for your organization including professional liability, cyber and crime insurance coverage.
“We are happy to be partnering with the team at Legal Tech Talent Network,” states Brad Jones, vice president, Kruse & Associates. “Kruse & Associates will serve as the employer of record to handle administration and payment of W-2 employment, employee taxes, medical benefits, liability insurance and a many other operations concerning human resources.”
“Rather than paying exorbitant amounts for junior consultants from big four-style consultancies, our clients enjoy the benefit of having senior independent consultants with extensive experience working on their teams at a fraction of the cost,” states David Netzer, president, LTTN. “In addition, our independent consultants receive the benefits of working for a big company while having the flexibility to take on the number of hours they choose. They can have time off between projects, work limited hours and make their work schedule align with their personal lives and family responsibilities. This is really a win-win for both our clients and our contractors.”
