Aspen Legal

Aspen Legal is one of Australia’s fastest growing interim legal contracting businesses focused exclusively on the in-house market. Its founders are some of the most experienced legal secondments specialists in the country who, in creating Aspen, set out to provide a fresh approach to legal services. We don’t just provide high calibre legal services – they’re a given. We make engaging with us simple, partnering with you to tailor flexible, bespoke solutions to support your legal and commercial requirements. We work with clients nationally – from ASX200 and multinational corporations across all sectors, to higher education and medical and research institutions. Our secondees (a mix of Aspen’s permanent legal team and a broader talent pool) are all experienced in-house lawyers, who will hit the ground running to help alleviate your pain points. In addition to secondments, we provide high quality legal services as part of Aspen Legal’s law firm. Our expertise spans general commercial, corporate advisory and M&A, to IP and commercialisation, commercial leasing and pharmaceutical law. Are you looking for additional support with a project, urgent leave cover or specialist expertise? Or are you an in-house lawyer looking for a different way of working? Get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
