Case Study: Sweeney Merrigan builds a scalable global support team with Deel

How Sweeney Merrigan built a global support team to handle rising caseloads

Sweeney Merrigan, a Boston-based personal injury law firm, turned to Deel’s Talent product as caseloads grew and attorneys became stretched thin with administrative work. The firm needed a more reliable, long-term way to hire and manage support talent than local recruiting or freelance platforms could provide.

With Deel, Sweeney Merrigan connected with a recruiting partner to source and onboard global candidates, ultimately hiring two Medical Record Coordinators in the Philippines. The firm completed four interviews and filled both roles in under one month, with 5 hires made in under 3 months and an average time to hire of 2–2.5 weeks, helping reduce administrative bottlenecks and free attorneys to focus on client work.
