Contract support for corporate legal teams
Your in-house team should be spending its time on the work only it can do. We take the contract volume that stops that happening.
Leading corporates run capable in-house legal departments that drive broader business strategy. Those departments are also carrying heavier contract volumes against tighter budgets, while still having to contain risk in a shifting regulatory environment.
Cutting cost usually means accepting weaker work. Our contract service is the alternative: specialist capacity you can turn on and off, on pricing agreed in advance.
Where we take the load
- Overflow review. The queue of inbound customer and supplier contracts your team cannot get to this month
- Standard-terms projects. Rebuilding your terms of trade, purchasing terms or SLAs from the ground up
- Negotiation support. Running the redline exchange on deals your team has scoped but has no capacity to argue
- Template and playbook work. Turning repeat agreements into a self-serve suite with clear escalation rules
- Contract audits. Reviewing a portfolio in one pass to find where the exposure is concentrated
- Cover. Maternity leave, a vacancy, or a spike your headcount plan did not anticipate
