CREATING CONNECTIONS AND NETWORKS FOR BUSINESS
EXTERNAL IN-HOUSE COUNSEL
An external in-house counsel provides your business with the benefit of having in-house counsel – a highly qualified senior lawyer – without the commitment and cost of bringing a permanent general counsel into the business.
Our team have acted for a number of international and domestic companies as external in-house counsel, working from within the client’s office and remotely as a virtual general counsel. We provide you with responsive, flexible and tailored legal services for your business in a cost-effective way.
The benefits of using an external in-house counsel include:
- Access to commercially-minded, top-tier lawyers without paying for law firm overheads;
- Monthly or yearly retainers which provide certainty of costs; and
- On-call access to a senior lawyer who has an intimate knowledge of your business and understands the culture of the bsuiness and how things are done.
We implement our model by working collaboratively with clients to identify tasks best managed by lawyers, commercial consultants, or both. We can provide the legal advice needed and are equally comfortable discussing business operations and strategy.
