In-House Legal Department
We regard ourselves as being an
in-house legal department for each one of our clients – whether it’s for
those odd queries that pop up; for
a second opinion on the legal angles of a business decision; for drafting a tricky letter; or just
for the occasions when you as a small but growing business need to bounce an
idea off someone who has broad business experience, a good knowledge of your
particular industry, and a legal background – and no potential axe to
grind, beyond helping to look after your interests. We can help – and we do, often.
And also, for the
occasions when it suits you to present yourself to the world as having your own
in-house legal department, specializing in your field – we’re happy to be
presented in that way. If you have your own domain
you can, if you wish, set up a mail account diverted to us as ‘legal@’ or
whatever.
The ‘Big Deal’ Service
This is one of our specialities.
Over the years you’ve been working
hard to grow, and suddenly you’re tendering for that ‘big deal’ you’ve been
waiting for. Or maybe you’ve
already tendered, and now it’s landed in your lap. You realize that maybe there’s going to be more to handle in
tying up the legal angles than you had anticipated. You’re going to be busy with the project itself. This is a time when it’s particularly important
to dot and cross the legal ‘i’s
and ‘t’s. But you don’t want to lose sight of the
bigger picture and become immersed in legalese. You need an experienced lawyer, with sound business
experience and judgment, and knowledge of your industry, who can help not just
with the legal issues, but also with their business implications.
Again, we can help – and we
do, often. We can draft the
documents; we
can review and revise documents drafted by others; we can help put you in the best position to take informed
decisions; and we can negotiate on
your behalf – or we can help empower you to do so yourself, entirely as
you please.
Neither the In-House Legal Department, nor the Big Deal service is in any way formalized; there is no ongoing commitment to pay a
retainer, and neither has to fit in with any particular structure –
they’re simply descriptions of ways in which we often find ourselves working in
practice – ways which work for our clients, and so also work for us.
The real point is that we are flexible
– we try to identify what your needs are, and to fit in with them as best
we can. We will agree with you how
responsibility for the various elements of what needs to be
done are to be divided between us.
We find working in this way is something that many clients prefer. It’s really just a question of how you
can best use our services, expertise and experience to support you in your
attempts to develop your business.
Wherever it is practicable and safe to do so, the documents we produce for you will be recyclable - when we are able to produce a document which you can easily and safely use and reuse in similar situations as and when they arise in the future, we will do so.
So if you think we may be able to
help you in any of these ways, mail us
with more details. In confidence, of course.
