Flexible legal support when your team needs extra capacity
Legal staffing needs do not always follow a fixed plan. Your team may face a temporary increase in workload, an employee’s leave or absence, a specific project, or a gap while recruiting a permanent legal professional.
Our Legal Secondment Service provides experienced legal professionals to work alongside your team for an agreed period, helping you maintain legal capacity during these temporary or transitional needs.
The seconded professional can work full-time or part-time, depending on your requirements, with the role, responsibilities and scope of work agreed in advance.
When Can Legal Secondment Help?
Legal Secondment may be suitable when you:
- Have a temporary increase in legal workload;
- Need additional legal support while a team member is on leave or temporarily unavailable;
- Need legal resources for a specific project or period;
- Are recruiting a permanent legal professional and need interim support; or
- Need additional legal capacity without making an immediate long-term staffing commitment.
What We Can Support
Depending on the agreed role and scope, the seconded legal professional may support:
- Contract review and drafting
- Day-to-day legal advisory
- Corporate and governance matters
- Employment and HR-related legal matters
- Legal and regulatory research
- Compliance-related work
- Legal documentation and internal processes
The specific role, responsibilities, working arrangements and scope of work will be agreed based on your business needs.
How It Works
We first understand your requirements, including the expected duration, working arrangement, areas of responsibility and level of experience required.
We then propose a suitable legal professional based on the agreed requirements.
During the secondment, the legal professional works as part of your team for the agreed period and coordinates with your designated personnel in accordance with your internal working arrangements.
The secondment is structured around your temporary legal needs and does not require you to create a permanent position for the seconded professional.
