Whether you are covering a gap, managing a peak, bringing in specialist expertise, making a permanent appointment or standing up a team at scale, we place proven lawyers who integrate quickly and operate with the confidence of a permanent team member.
Every requirement is different, and most of our best engagements begin with a conversation rather than a category.
We start with the work, the shape of the team and the outcome that matters. That includes the level. Some briefs need a General Counsel, some need a capable commercial lawyer, and we would rather ask than default upwards. Where the work justifies the strongest lawyer we can find we will say so, and where it needs someone capable at a sensible rate we will say that too. The quality bar does not move.
FLEXIBLE CAPABILITY
Proven lawyers who step in quickly to cover business as usual, manage planned transitions or support teams through periods of sustained pressure. Whether you are between hires, carrying a vacancy or simply stretched, the right interim lawyer keeps the function moving.
They operate with the confidence and judgement of a permanent team member from the outset, picking up existing matters, working with your stakeholders and holding the standard you expect, so nothing slips while you decide on the longer-term shape of your team. Engagements can run for a few weeks or many months, and flex as your needs change.
Fractional support means what it says. You take the fraction of a lawyer you need and nothing more. That might be three days a week, one day a month or a handful of hours when something specific comes up.
It suits teams that need a General Counsel’s judgement without a General Counsel’s headcount. It also suits teams that need real depth in a single area – data privacy, IP, financial regulation, employment or complex commercial contracting – where a permanent hire is not warranted and law firm advice is not the right answer either.
At the smaller end, hourly arrangements work well where the requirement is real but intermittent. You have someone who already knows the business, available when you need them, and you are not paying for time you are not using.
High calibre lawyers who can step into a GC or senior in-house role at short notice, maintaining momentum, managing team capacity and supporting stakeholders through planned or unexpected leave.
Covering a senior role takes more than technical competence. It takes commercial judgement, stakeholder management and the ability to lead a team from day one. We match lawyers who have held equivalent in-house roles, so the cover is genuine and leadership has one less thing to think about while key team members are away.
Additional capacity for transactions, regulatory change, restructures and periods of peak volume.
Surge demands require lawyers who can hit the ground running without an onboarding period. Our panel members have handled major corporate events, large-scale commercial renegotiations and complex regulatory implementations. They integrate seamlessly with your team, take ownership of specific workstreams and deliver under pressure.
WORK AT VOLUME
Dedicated teams for high-volume, process-driven work, delivered with the right technology behind them – whether that is your preferred stack of third-party tools or our proprietary technology.
When legal work becomes repetitive, high-volume or template-based, managing it through an in-house team is inefficient and expensive. We design, stand up and operate managed legal service workstreams that handle specific categories of work at scale.
Every managed service is built around clear metrics, agreed turnaround times and consistent quality controls. You retain oversight while our team handles the execution, freeing your core legal team to focus on strategic, high-value work.
PERMANENT HIRING
The same judgement, applied to permanent appointments. We recruit and search for in-house roles from legal counsel through to General Counsel, including confidential mandates and first legal hires.
Our advantage is not just a longer list and better data on candidates. It is that the people running the search have practised law, understand what the role actually requires and can have a credible conversation with a lawyer who is not looking to move.
We stay involved from brief through to offer and onboarding, and the person who takes the brief is the person who runs the search.

HOW WE MATCH
Every brief is run against a substantial and continually maintained dataset of lawyers, including details of thier practice area, sector, jurisdiction, level, in-house experience, availability and rate. Our matching technology narrows thousands of possibilities to a more credible field in minutes, taking account of your priorities and preferences.
Who is actually put forward is decided by practising lawyers, every time. The technology is what allows us to work faster, more accurately and at scale, using the most structured dataset in the market. The judgement is what makes the shortlist worth reading.
On managed services engagements the same approach applies at team level.
