How we work with in-house legal teams
We pride ourselves on our commitment to developing our knowledge and understanding of the organisation and the people within it, particularly the in-house legal team, so that we become a seamless extension of the team. This allows our lawyers to provide legal advice in a way that works for the organisation and reflects the approach of the in-house legal team itself.
Our team are available to offer regular and consistent support to in-house legal teams. However, we recognise that the support required will change over time and so we are also able to provide flexible resource which can quickly scale to fit with the organisation’s needs and timescales.
Our team’s flexible, on request, support could include:
- Specialist support in respect of matters which are outside of the expertise of the in-house team
- Legal resource at times of increased demand from the organisation or where there is reduced capacity within the in-house legal team
- Supporting the organisation with projects which are large scale and/or time sensitive
- Advice on regular legal requirements such as risk reporting in respect of day-to-day commercial contracts against a streamlined and pre-agreed matrix of reporting requirements
