Flexible legal support that works with your business and your team
As your business grows, so do its day-to-day legal needs. Contracts, employment matters, corporate governance, regulatory requirements and business decisions can create an ongoing flow of legal work.
Whether you do not yet have dedicated legal resources, or your existing team needs additional capacity or expertise, our External Legal Department Service provides ongoing legal support tailored to your organization.
Two Flexible Models
Full Model: For businesses without an in-house legal function.
- We provide ongoing legal support across the agreed areas of work and serve as your external legal function, working with management and relevant departments on recurring legal matters.
Hybrid Model: For businesses with an existing legal team or internal legal resources.
- We work alongside your team as an extended legal resource, providing additional capacity, experience or specialist support within the agreed scope.
This model allows your internal team to focus on its priorities while we support agreed areas of recurring legal work.
Depending on your business and the agreed scope, our ongoing support may include:
- Contracts & Commercial Matters – contract review, drafting and legal support for commercial and operational matters;
- Corporate & Governance – corporate documents, internal approvals and governance matters;
- Employment & HR – employment-related documents and legal issues;
- Regulatory & Compliance – applicable legal and regulatory requirements within the agreed scope;
- Day-to-Day Legal Advisory – practical legal advice on operational matters and business decisions; and
- Legal Updates & Internal Documents – relevant legal updates, templates and internal legal documents.
What Your Team Gains
- For Management: A reliable legal resource aligned with your business needs, without necessarily expanding your permanent legal function.
- For Legal Teams: Additional capacity and expertise, allowing your team to allocate its resources according to its own priorities.
- For HR & Other Functions: A clear and accessible channel for obtaining legal support on employment, contracts and operational matters.
- For the Business: A consistent and flexible legal support structure that can evolve with your business and its changing needs.
How We Work
We first have a kick-off meeting to understand your business, existing legal resources and recurring legal needs, we then agree on the appropriate service model, scope of work and working arrangements.
Throughout the engagement, we work with your designated contact persons and relevant teams, providing legal support within the agreed scope and raising matters that require further attention or decision-making.
The External Legal Department Service is designed for ongoing legal support within an agreed scope. Complex transactions, specialized licensing, litigation, arbitration, major restructuring and other substantial projects may be handled separately where appropriate.
