General Counsel Services

Modern businesses have complex advisory needs and without an in-house legal team or support to overloaded in-house teams, legal issues can become business blockers. 

We know reaching out to external legal advisors can become a time drain and cost spiral and explaining the issue to someone who doesn’t know your business adds to this.

Having a cost-effective solution to flexibly upscale and downsize your legal resource avoids adding long term fixed cost commitments for potentially short-term issues.

Our Services

We can offer a package of legal support to service these needs, strengthen your management team or existing legal team and make your legal budget predictable. 

Without adding to headcount we can provide flexibility to scale according to your business activities and priorities.  

A single point of contact who understands your business, strategy, culture and risk profile. We can attend meetings, give ad hoc phone advice, step into urgent video calls as well as day to day services such as negotiating commercial terms, drafting contracts and giving you a heads up on key regulatory changes.

Our outsourced services include:

• Contract drafting and review: From commercial agreements to director service contracts, we ensure contracts are clear, enforceable, and protect your interests.
• Corporate governance: corporate structuring, compliance, and governance matters, helping your business operate efficiently and ethically.
• Employment law: From hiring to termination, we provide guidance on employment law matters, including discrimination, harassment, compliance, and employee relations.
• Intellectual property protection: We help you protect your valuable intellectual property assets through, licensing agreements, reviewing and drafting appropriate commercial terms and enforcement strategies.
