Outsourced Legal Counsel
Your legal function. Without the full-time overhead.
Flexible, ongoing commercial legal support for businesses that need access to legal expertise without employing a full-time internal legal counsel.
The proposition
Scalable legal support, on the terms your business needs.
Many businesses need consistent commercial legal input but do not need - or cannot justify - a permanent internal legal appointment. Outsourced Legal Counsel gives you that input on a recurring basis, scaled to the volume of work you actually have.
Support can be arranged as ongoing monthly assistance, as a retainer, or on a project basis, and can expand or contract as your requirements change.
