What do we do
We help organisations by providing commercial legal support, when needed, in the following practice areas:
​
​
​
​
Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection
​
The firm’s clients are varied. We work with established in-house legal teams that need an extra team member through to smaller organisations that require a 'sometimes' level of in-house legal support. We also consult with other legal service provider outfits that need to augment their teams from time to time.
To give you a better picture of how our engagements typically come about:
for established in-house legal teams...
-
covering staff absences - when someone goes on leave there is typically a handover to other in-house team members - sometimes the coverage is sufficient, but often the workload is too much to spread across the team and requires an additional resource solution. This might be for as little as one day a week or full replacement coverage for the period of leave.
​
-
a strategic once-off project - some types of projects demand a dedicated legal resource or specialist experience (tech projects are our bag and we have the experience on both customer-side and supplier-side to add value and help get these types of projects across the line).
​
-
an overflow of BAU - where there is no immediate budget/appetite to take on an additional headcount employee we come in handy as a scalable solution - the engagement can last for days, weeks, months or in some cases years, it's up to you!
​
-
ad hoc legal support - on matters that would typically be outsourced to traditional 'full-service' law firms - no beating around the bush here, engaging a boutique consultantcy with the right experience is often a much lower cost option for the same service.
for businesses that don't have an in-house legal function...
-
a new product/service line offering or procurement where new legal advice or a bespoke contract is required.
​
-
large transformation projects or similar.
​
-
traditionally outsourced legal matters - a tailored boutique consultancy solution is often the most cost-efficient model. For this type of engagement we can do all streams of work that are within our wheelhouse and help you manage other legal matters requiring specialist input. Navigating the legal landscape can be challenging and having someone in your corner that knows the market can be a real advantage.
for other legal service providers....
-
placement referrals – some businesses connect freelance consultants with organisations in need of a lawyer – we also play in this space and work with these businesses to provide an individual resource for a particular assignment.
-
team augmentation - established legal practices often experience busy periods which they struggle to cover with existing staff - this is 'a nice problem to have' but requires a quick add-on solution. We can provide coverage under your banner for a particular matter or multiple matters.
​
-
specialist components - some established legal practices will need to call on other lawyers for particular areas of expertise. We work with other similar boutique legal practices to provide support in our specialised fields.
