Supporting General Counsel and In-house Legal Leaders

We work alongside General Counsel and in-house legal teams on a wide range of issues, including:

• AI support – AI‑risk governance guidance, support defending AI‑driven complaints, and advanced AI‑powered disclosure and document review.
• Bank of hours – buy blocks of our lawyers’ time in advance at a significant discount, with total cost certainty to help manage your budgets.
• Company secretarial - fixed-price support with administration and compliance, giving you time back to focus on commercial and strategic priorities.
• Commercial contracts - quick, cost-effective and high-volume analysis of day-to-day business contracts based on your key areas of concern.
• Corporate law - strong governance is critical to resilience and trust. We help you design frameworks that enable sound decision-making.
• Cyber and data security - our cyber security assessment and training on data privacy and GDPR provides assurance that you have the measures in place to keep your data and systems safe.
• Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) - finger-on-the-pulse expertise with commitment to doing right by our own people, our communities, and our planet as a whole.
• Intellectual property and media - tailored intellectual property support, including strategic brand and portfolio advice, and a rapid hotline service for a variety of IP issues.
• Litigation funding - access to a range of flexible funding options to suit your appetite to risk.
• Overflow support - Workloads often spike unexpectedly. We can step in to handle day-to-day matters, giving your team breathing room without adding permanent headcount.
• Regulatory and compliance - Regulators expect high standards from in-house teams. We help you manage risk assessments, policies, and investigations with confidence.
• Secondments - By working directly within your organisation, we gain first-hand insight into your culture, priorities and ways of working, helping us build stronger relationships and deliver more commercially focused advice long after the secondment ends.
• Training and development - Continuous learning fortifies in-house capability. We provide tailored training programmes that prepare your team to succeed in future challenges. 

We know that being an in-house lawyer is a high-pressure and often lonely role. Dealing with demands from the board, the wider business, and other stakeholders, while keeping on top of budgets and juggling multiple projects, is time-intensive and challenging.

We understand that many of the challenges facing senior in-house professionals extend beyond legal issues. Navigating organisational change, managing stakeholder expectations, developing leadership skills and building a trusted professional network are equally important.

Through our combination of legal expertise and the IM In-house Network, we support both the technical and human aspects of leading an in-house legal function.

That's why we work alongside your team, providing support when and where it's needed. Whether it's acting as a sounding board for a difficult decision or bringing specialist expertise to a complex project, we're there as an extension of your legal function. 

We take the time to get to know you and your team, so our advice will always be tailored to your unique situation. We’ll look for ways to add value that meet your individual needs, and when things change, we’ll listen and change with you. 

We offer a range of transparent fee structures, giving you flexibility and control over costs, so you can manage your budgets with confidence.

Whether you're looking for legal updates, practical business insights or opportunities to connect with fellow in-house professionals, our programme of events and resources is designed to support your development and keep you connected to the wider in-house community.
