A sole in-house counsel, or a small legal team, carries everything.
The contract queue, the board questions, the compliance projects and the late-afternoon emergencies. Overflow has traditionally meant instructing a firm by the hour, which brings cost uncertainty, a budget conversation with finance, and the job of explaining the business from scratch to someone new.
There is a better shape for this.
We work as an extension of your legal function.
Typically that means:
- Overflow contract review when the queue builds up;
- A senior sounding board for the judgment calls it helps to talk through;
- Cover during holidays, parental leave or a vacancy;
- Defined projects your team does not have the bandwidth to take on;
- Template and playbook work that frees your team from the repeat questions.
Fixed monthly fees make us easy to budget and easy to justify: a predictable line item rather than an open meter, which means you can commit support to the business without a separate approval each time.
Our job is to make your life easier, not to compete for your role.
