Enhance Your Team With Interim Legal Support Via Secondment Placements
When clients need help optimizing core in-house tasks or special projects, such as compliance or regulatory responses, secondments are a crucial resource in a GC’s toolkit. We elevate this approach by providing top-tier legal talent on flexible terms, equipped with the necessary substantive skills and commercial mindedness to ensure excellent results. Our legal consultants work in harmony with in-house teams, aligning their day with client priorities. Once the client’s needs are met, the secondment concludes. Efficient, cost-effective, and integrated.
The use cases are numerous:
(1) Reallocate work to a more cost-effective legal services provider without sacrificing quality deliverables, running afoul of hiring freezes, or breaking the budget;
(2) Fill an expertise gap or cover leaves of absence;
(3) Add skilled hands to assist with a regulatory/compliance response or in-house optimization project;
(4) Bridge a gap created by a hard-to-fill permanent opening or flexibly manage the ebbs and flows of workstreams; or
(5) Free up bandwidth of permanent in-house team to take on other essential work.

De-risk Permanent Hiring & Maximize Flexibility with Transitional Placements

During the assignment period, both the attorney and client can assess mutual compatibility ahead of potentially committing to a full-time position.
