The Legal Director
The Legal Director is a legal consultancy that provides businesses with experienced, high-calibre lawyers on a part-time, retained basis as your in-house lawyer. By working smarter as part of a client’s business, and by delivering legal advice from your business perspective, we can demonstrably save our clients significant amounts of money and directors' time. The Legal Director is the most transparent, cost-effective way of embedding a senior lawyer within your business — at a fraction of the cost of employing a full-time Legal Director or engaging with a traditional law firm on an ad hoc basis.

Clients can use our 9-point legal framework to systematically address key business areas that require legal expertise and appropriate action: - Business Growth - Intellectual Property - Exit Planning - Your People - Your Business Relationships - Your Property - Process & Legal Risk - Compliance Awareness - Ongoing Legal Needs We differ from traditional law firms because we focus on our relationship with you and your business objectives -- we give you the legal advice you really need.
