Contractor

Job description

Total earning potential: $110,000 to $170,000+ annually (1099 independent contractor, workload dependent). CLFC compensates court reporters through an appearance and attendance fee PLUS retained transcript page revenue and expedited and realtime premiums, so your earnings scale with the work you produce, not a flat hourly wage.
CLFC is building its court reporter roster in the Atlanta market to support federal district court proceedings, federal administrative hearings, and depositions across CLFC's nationwide legal-support practice. This is recurring work, not a single engagement.
How the compensation works:
  • Appearance and attendance compensation for your time at each proceeding
  • 70% of transcript page revenue retained by the reporter, across ordinary, expedited, daily, and hourly delivery tiers
  • Realtime and rough-draft premiums where required
  • Steady, recurring assignment volume with predictable scheduling
  • CLFC manages scheduling, credentialing, and payment so you focus on the record

What you will do: produce a complete, accurate, verbatim record of district court proceedings, federal administrative hearings, and depositions; deliver certified transcripts within federal turnaround tiers; provide realtime output where required; and maintain exhibit custody and strict confidentiality.
Required qualifications:
  • RPR (NCRA) certification or an active state Certified Shorthand Reporter (CSR) license valid in the jurisdiction of assignment
  • Minimum 3 years of professional court reporting experience
  • Eligibility to pass a federal background investigation for suitability
  • U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident seeking citizenship
  • For deposition assignments, a Notary Public commission in the jurisdiction of assignment or the ability to obtain one
  • Proficiency with stenographic CAT software and reliable professional equipment with redundant backup recording

Strongly preferred: Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR) and/or Registered Merit Reporter (RMR); federal court experience; realtime certification.
Engagement: Independent Contractor (1099). Assignments are accepted individually and you remain free to accept or decline based on availability and location. Travel reimbursed per assignment terms.
