# Keep your day job. Moonlight your license.

> After hours · on your own license

You are already admitted, already covered by your firm nine-to-five. This is the after-hours work your license can do on its own — flat-fee legal reviews, on your schedule, without quitting anything or asking anyone's permission to earn.

`Independent attorneys on the network — moonlighting a license they already hold.`

## The two things that stop the employed.

You are not underemployed and you are not leaving. So the questions are not about the money — they are the two an employed attorney asks before anything else. Here they are, answered before you read a word about the fee.

### Objection 01 — “My firm's policy doesn't cover outside work.”

It doesn't — that gap is exactly what stops most employed attorneys, and it is real. So this does not run on your firm's policy. The Umbrella E&O program names YOU as the insured for the work you do here, and it must be verified in force for you before anything is signable. Until your coverage is in force, nothing is claimable — the gate stays shut on purpose.

_Coverage names you._

### Objection 02 — “My day-job conflicts would be a minefield.”

They would — which is why clearing them is yours to run, not ours to guess. You check your full book: Rules 1.7 and 1.9, plus every conflict imputed to you from your firm under Rule 1.10. The machinery to run that in minutes is what the platform carries. And your conflicts data stays yours — the platform stores hashes, you hold the names — so moonlighting never means handing your firm's client list to anyone.

_You hold the names._

Both are structural facts of how work is posted, not assurances — forward them to your ethics counsel before your first shift.

## One flat fee. All of it yours.

moonlight makes you no offer of its own — this is how work is priced on gigs.lawyer, described so you can weigh it before you join.

- **A flat Legal Fee, fixed before you claim** — Every review is posted with one flat Legal Fee, set when the work is posted and shown to you before you claim. No hourly math after hours, no negotiating a number once the work is done.
- **100% yours, never a share of anything** — The Legal Fee is your professional fee, whole and undivided. The platform charges separately for the software it actually provides; its economics never touch your fee line.
- **Paid the same day, on the act** — A signature, a send-back with defects noted, and a declination with your reasoned memo are all completed professional work. Each pays the full flat fee, the same day — which matters when this is the second thing you do in a day, not the only thing.
- **Your no is sovereign** — After reading the full matter, you can decline on your own judgment. The declination is a reasoned memo, paid in full, final against every process and every operator — and never scored against you. An employed attorney keeps a spotless refusal.

These are the ratified terms on gigs.lawyer, restated here — not promotional copy and not a separate offer.

## You already have the day job.

This is the porch for the attorney a full-time role does not fully spend. Three readers, one license each:

### The BigLaw associate

Billing your hours to the firm all day — and holding a license that could be earning for you after the last email goes out.

### In-house counsel

One client by day. A license that can review and sign for others by night, cleanly, without a book of business to build.

### The government lawyer

Public work on the clock; a private license off it. Coverage that names you and conflicts you clear yourself keep the two apart.

1. **Join at gigs.lawyer** — One intake — and it asks about your firm’s moonlighting rules up front, because that is the thing that most needs to be understood.
2. **Get cleared** — Your credential is verified against the official roster; your Umbrella E&O is bound and confirmed in force before a single review is signable.
3. **Work a review when you want one** — Read the disclosure, run your own conflicts check, claim, and sign, send back, or decline — 8–25 minutes of judgment, from your phone, after hours.
4. **Paid the same day** — The flat Legal Fee lands the day you do the work. No invoice to chase, no month-end.

## Your license does not clock out when you do.

Keep the day job. Bring the license here after hours. One door, one intake — the moonlighting question is the first thing it asks.
