You will work with a client`s legal team, with Patexia managing the full engagement and billing process between you and the client.
If it’s a fit, we’ll check for conflicts and then share your profile with the client. We’ll walk you through prep and set up the interview if they’d like to connect.
Yes – you’ll sign Patexia Terms and Conditions during the application process. This governs how we collaborate and ensures protection for both parties.
You set your rate, and Patexia handles invoicing and payments. You won’t bill the client directly. You’ll be paid after the client approves your hours and pays the invoice-that happens typically within 60–90 days across the industry. We don’t hold your money and support this process for you.
Nope – we do that for you. Just log your time in your dashboard, and we’ll handle invoicing and follow-up.
No – your rate is locked once submitted; you get what you quoted.
We ask for a slightly discounted rate, to account for Patexia’s facilitation and support throughout the engagement.
Your actual work once you’re engaged is billed using your rate. Submitting your application, participating in interviews, or any pre-engagement evaluations are part of the selection process and not billable.
You’ll find everything in your dashboard – hours, payment status, past engagements – all in one place.
No – our agreement asks that any work sourced through us stays through us. It keeps everything fair and above board.
Absolutely. If a case doesn’t feel right, just let us know – we’ll stay in touch for future opportunities.
That’s okay for certain types of cases. Experts start with no experience at some time. If you’re knowledgeable and can communicate clearly, we’ll help guide the rest.
Focus on what matters most: your relevant technical expertise, any litigation or expert witness experience, and niche certifications or publications.
Just as important is to show that you’re engaged, responsive, and able to explain complex topics clearly.
Don’t worry – we’ll guide you through the process.
Clients value responsiveness, transparency, and professionalism. All information may be verified by the client, so timely and accurate communication is essential.
We’re with you every step: opportunity discovery, scheduling, prep, NDAs, billing – and we brief you before the attorney ever gets on the phone.
Yes – absolutely.
All case and client details must stay strictly confidential unless you’re formally engaged and given permission to share. Some case info may become public through the court, but anything provided to you should be treated as private.
Feel free to contact us at info@patexia.com and we’ll be happy to help.

“I appreciate Patexia support in handling administrative tasks and the fact that they act as an intermediary when dealing with clients, which lets me focus on the case itself.
The payment process was simple, using internal billing system. There were some delays on the client’s side, but it was helpful having Patexia communicate directly with them.”
