Our Mission

gigLAW has been created to fill a blatant gap in the legal education system that is apparent yet rarely discussed. We provide opportunities for law students to complete project-based work, earning an income in law school, and allow for sole practitioners and small firms to receive high quality work without the hassle of overhead costs.

When our founder, Hayley, entered law school, she knew she didn’t want to go into corporate law. Yet, she found that there were minimal resources to help her find placements in any other field of interest she had. After waking up early every single morning and sending over a thousand emails just to get informational calls, she finally landed on the idea that would change her life - offer her legal services as a legal intern to complete project-based work for a monthly retainer fee. Now, she wants to enable other law students to be able to explore the legal industry the way she has and enable more sole practitioners and small firms to receive the highest quality of work for minimal costs. 

gigLAW allows for qualified law students to have the ability to explore any legal industry they want to explore, creating connections with potential future employers, gaining immense experience in a variety of legal fields, and earning a small income while in law school. Sole practitioners and small firms, often the firms with minimal assistance, are able to receive the assistance they need, having access to top talent while being ensured with the highest quality of work.
