Low Cost Legal Advice and Assistance

If you require assistance as a business you do not necessarily need to use a law firm. Instead you can employ the services of an in house lawyer to provide you with advice and assistance directly.

The cost savings can be phenomenal, provided you are willing to accept the increased risk from using an interim lawyer on an in house basis.

A General In House Counsel (ie a lawyer who is able to manage a wide range of business law matters) will assist you in identifying what can be done internally at a low cost and also advising you to seek external specialist assistance when necessary.

Ongoing advice can be provided for anything a business may require legal expertise for. Our lawyers do not tend to assist with property work, disputes or contentious matters – ie anything requiring court proceedings. These matters are best handled by solicitors’ firms.

What is the potential cost saving of using an Interim Lawyer?

The average hourly rate of a corporate commercial partner or solicitor in a solicitors’ firm is about £300-£350 per hour.

The average cost of an interim lawyer working as a consultant for your business is around £75 per hour.

What Types of Work can Interim Lawyers assist with?

Pretty much anything where the consultant is providing your business with in house legal advice. We can provide you with profiles for In House Counsel (lawyers who cover a wide range of business law) or specialist lawyers for specific tasks.

Our consultants have worked on Employment Law – non-contentious, Commercial Contracts of all shapes and sizes, Mergers & Acquisitions, Corporate Finance, Corporate Structure advice, Intellectual Property work and GDPR & Data Protection. We have over 300 lawyers available to assist so we can usually put you in touch with a suitable consultant. If we are unable to assist we will refer you to external cost-effective specialist solicitors.

What is the difference between using an Interim Lawyer and employing the services of an external law firm?

The main difference is that you cannot sue an interim lawyer if he or she gives you negligent advice. This is because they are providing your business with advice on an in house basis and only on unregulated matters. There are also quite a few areas of law and types of cases that require external firms of solicitors to act on your behalf, or it would be better to do so. Having your own in house lawyer means that they can advise you as to when an external firm needs to be instructed.

How does it work?

Call us on 0800 246 5001 to discuss your requirements or complete our form online. Our specialist interim consultant is a qualified solicitor and will be able to assist in identifying the type of lawyer you will need.
