Services for Corporate Counsel
Whether you are a large company that has always relied on law firms on an as-needed basis, or you are in-house counsel needing additional support, we can provide this to you on a competitively priced basis for work in the UK and overseas.
We have worked with large companies and multinationals both locally and on an international basis on a variety of matters, including providing an independent review of their external legal costs and undertaking special projects.
For example:
- Designing and implement policies relating to specific issues like approvals, document retention policies or data protection policies
- Providing workshops and training for your non-legal staff to facilitate their understanding of basic contracts or such other issues that are pertinent to your business
- Working on specific projects like joint ventures or providing support on transaction management for large acquisitions or disposals
- Supporting you with specialist IP protection or exploitation
- Providing an annual legal audit to ensure that the legal risks are minimised following updates in legislation
- Providing regular research and legal updates on specific areas of interest for the company
- Secondment and training for junior members of your legal team to work with us to gain specialist experience in IP, international commercial work.
One of Cresco Legal’s founding partners was a former in-house counsel at General Electric (GE) and Shell and therefore understands the in-house environment intimately, particularly the need to control legal costs. We therefore offer competitive rates for outsourced legal work especially for contract management, and work to a fixed budget whenever possible. We will agree convenient billing procedures and in the future, e-billing.
