How I can help

The work, defined clearly

Each mandate starts with the business objective and the decision that needs to be made. The legal work is then built around it.

01

Reserved senior capacity

Two, four or eight days each month with priorities, availability, service levels and review points agreed upfront.

02

Interim and overflow support

Cover for leave, vacancies, workload peaks, backlogs or a temporary increase in contract and procurement demand.

03

Project legal lead

Ownership of a defined transaction, implementation, transformation or international workstream.

04

Contract and procurement pipeline

Triage, drafting, review, negotiation, matter tracking and escalation across a recurring portfolio.

05

Legal operations and playbooks

Intake, templates, clause libraries, workflows and practical knowledge systems for repeated work.

06

Specialist coordination

One senior legal point coordinating local, tax, employment, disputes, patent, privacy or technical specialists as the mandate requires.

Typical engagements

Practical ways to start

How the mandate is scoped

A clear fee and a controlled perimeter

Monthly reserved capacity or a defined interim/project mandate. Retainers reserve time and service levels; they do not buy unlimited work.

When another specialist joins

Senior coordination, without blurred responsibility

Included matters, availability, decision rights, conflicts, escalation and handover are agreed before the mandate starts.

Technology may support research, comparison and document structuring. The legal position, sources and final recommendation are reviewed by the lawyer.

Discuss a matter

Start with the decision, deadline and documents you already have.

A short, non-confidential brief is enough to establish fit, conflicts, scope and the right next step.
