Every business is different, and so is the way we work with you. We can be as integrated or as hands-off as you need, and we adapt as your business grows and changes. In practice, this might look like:

• Streamlining how legal work is requested, managed and delivered
• Building out a library of legal templates tailored to your business to streamline operations
• Building contract playbooks that reflect your business’s risk position, speed up decision-making, and support consistent internal reviews (including use in AI-assisted contract review tools)
• Running training sessions to upskill your team on key legal topics
• Setting up matter tracking and reporting so you always know where things stand
• Acting as a sounding board for your leadership team on commercial decisions
• Flagging relevant legal developments before they become issues for your business.
• Where it suits you, working directly within your existing systems and environment

Strategic Counsel suits businesses that:

• Do not have an in-house legal team and do not want to build one
• Have an in-house team but need additional capacity, specialist support or project-based resource
• Are growing and facing an increasing volume and complexity of legal matters
• Want a trusted legal partner who understands their business, not just their files

We start by getting to know your business, your priorities and your risk profile.

We usually suggest starting with an initial period of working together without a long-term commitment. That gives everyone confidence the arrangement is working and delivering value before committing further.

From there, we agree on a fixed monthly fee that reflects the scope of support you need. You get direct access to your legal team, responsive turnaround times and clear communication at every step.  As your business evolves, so does our support.
