What is a legal & conveyancing virtual assistant?

The paralegal force multiplier
AU firms have been quietly hiring for 15 years

A legal & conveyancing virtual assistant is a remote paralegal-trained professional who handles file opening, settlement coordination, document drafting, PEXA workspace prep and matter admin for Australian law firms and conveyancers, typically working 40 hours per week from offshore hubs in the Philippines or Sri Lanka. They’re trained on LEAP, Actionstep, PEXA, InfoTrack, Smokeball and FilePro — and aligned to AEST/AEDT. Every VA signs an AU-law NDA and IP assignment before day one.

"I used to spend half my week buried in admin. Now my Webco VA runs my calendar, inbox, and CRM. I got my weekends back."
Sarah K.
Founder, Brisbane SaaS startup

Where do Webco's virtual assistants come from?

Webco Talent operates from two carefully chosen offshore hubs. Both deliver strong English proficiency, established business culture, and time-zone overlap with Australia.

Sri Lanka (Colombo)

Time zone: 4.5–5.5 hours behind AEST
English level: IELTS 6.5+ or equivalent across all hires
Strengths: Software development, QA, accounting, paraprofessional
Cultural fit: British-influenced business norms, strong written English

Through our Loka Doratu initiative, Webco invests directly in tech-skills training for underserved communities in Sri Lanka — meaning your VA partnership creates measurable social impact alongside business savings.

Philippines (Manila)

Time zone: 2–3 hours behind AEST (close overlap)
English level: Native-equivalent, US-influenced accent
Strengths: Customer support, virtual assistance, sales, ecommerce ops
Cultural fit: Service-orientated, highly responsive to Australian business hours

The Philippines is the world’s largest offshore-services destination for English-speaking markets, with a workforce highly experienced in supporting Australian, UK, and US businesses.

How does the hiring process work?

From the moment you brief us to your VA’s first day of work, the entire process takes 10–14 business days. That’s roughly half the time of most other AU offshore agencies (typically 3–6 weeks).

  1. Discovery call Day 1 — 30 minutes

    We map the role, tasks, technical requirements, working hours, and personality fit. You leave the call with a clear scope and pricing.

  2. Sourcing & vetting Days 2–7 — 5 business days

    We source from our pre-vetted talent pool, run skills tests, English assessment, and behavioural interviews. Only the top 3–5 candidates make your shortlist.

  3. Your interviews Days 8–10

    You interview the shortlist via video call. We coach you on what to ask. Choose your VA — or we'll re-source at no charge.

  4. Onboarding & setup Days 11–14

    We handle contracts, IT setup, secure workstation, software access, and orientation. You receive your 30/60/90 onboarding plan template.

  5. Day-one support — and beyond

    Your AU-based account manager checks in weekly for the first month, then monthly. Free replacement if your VA isn't the right fit within 90 days.

Searches & DD prep at scale

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions Australian businesses ask before hiring an offshore virtual assistant.

How much does it cost to hire a legal or conveyancing VA in Australia?

A pre-vetted offshore legal or conveyancing VA through Webco Talent costs from AUD $2,500 per month for full-time (160 hours), all-inclusive. A local AU paralegal or conveyancing assistant typically costs $65k–$95k per year base ($6,000–$8,500/mo) once superannuation, payroll tax, office space and leave loading are added. Specialist VAs trained in LEAP, Actionstep, PEXA and InfoTrack start from $3,200/mo. AU-law NDA and IP assignment signed before day one. 90-day replacement guarantee. Pricing in AUD, billed monthly from Melbourne.

From your initial brief to your VA’s first day of work, the full process takes 10 to 14 business days. We deliver pre-vetted CVs within 10 days, you interview the shortlist, and onboarding completes in 4 days. This is roughly half the typical 3–6 week timeline of other Australian offshore agencies.

Webco Talent provides pre-vetted, dedicated virtual assistants with HR, payroll, IT, and replacement guarantees managed for you. Upwork and Fiverr are self-service marketplaces where you screen, contract, and manage everything yourself in USD. Use Upwork for one-off micro-tasks. Use Webco for ongoing roles where reliability, IP protection, and AU billing matter.

Yes. All Webco VAs work aligned to your nominated Australian time zone (AEST, AEDT, AWST or ACST). Both our Sri Lanka and Philippines hubs offer strong overlap with AU business hours. We can also arrange split shifts, after-hours cover, or 24/7 support across multiple VAs.

Your virtual assistant is employed and managed by Webco Talent in their home country — they are not your direct employee, contractor, or PAYG worker under Australian law. This means no super, no payroll tax, no PAYG withholding, no Fair Work obligations. You receive a single monthly invoice in AUD.

Webco offers a free replacement guarantee within the first 90 days. If your VA isn’t performing or isn’t the right cultural fit, we re-source and onboard a replacement at no additional cost. Beyond 90 days, we still re-source on request as part of our ongoing service.

Every Webco VA signs an Australian-law NDA and IP assignment agreement before their first day. Workstations are secured with disk encryption, password vaults, and restricted file access. We can implement role-based access controls, screen-recording prevention, and data-loss prevention software for sensitive industries (legal, medical, financial).

Yes. Webco offers part-time engagements from 80 hours/month (from $1,400/mo AUD). This suits solopreneurs, side-projects, or specialised tasks that don’t need full-time coverage. You can scale up to full-time anytime with 30 days’ notice.

Yes — all of it. Webco employs your VA directly, runs their payroll, manages leave entitlements per their home-country labour laws, monitors performance, and provides HR support. You manage tasks and outputs; we manage everything else. No Australian employment obligations apply to you.

Every Webco legal VA signs an Australian-law NDA and IP assignment agreement before their first day. Workstations are secured with full-disk encryption, password vaults, restricted file access and role-based permissions. We support the major AU legal stacks — LEAP, Actionstep, Smokeball, FilePro, PEXA and InfoTrack — and can implement screen-recording prevention, data-loss prevention software and audit logs for sensitive matter types. We’re happy to align with your firm’s Information Barrier and Australian Privacy Act obligations.
