Support for In-House Lawyers & General Counsel
When you need additional legal support, our responsive and full-service team has your back.
Talk to usAs a full-service law firm, we provide responsive, efficient and reliable support to in-house lawyers, legal teams and general counsel — complementing your own capabilities with our extensive range of expertise and specialisms.
We understand the challenges of being an in-house lawyer. Meeting the demands of your business, managing risk, fluctuating workloads and keeping up with ever-changing legislation are all better handled alongside a trusted partner — one that can operate as a seamless extension of your team.
Many of our experts have worked in private and public sector roles, so we understand the pressures that you face. We can lighten the load and help you to achieve your internal and commercial objectives — whether assisting with day-to-day needs, covering planned absences or providing ad-hoc support on specific or overspill projects.
Complementary legal expertise for in-house lawyers
We want to understand your challenges and work with you to develop the right solutions. We always start by getting to know your business and its culture before selecting a core team of lawyers who’ll work with you on a day-to-day basis — providing the commercially minded, pragmatic advice you’re looking for.
We offer a broad range of legal expertise including corporate, commercial contracts, intellectual property, data protection, public procurement, employment, real estate, regulatory and litigation.
Through Brabners Personal, we also offer award-winning legal services for individuals and families, from family law to divorce, private client and professional conduct matters.
We also provide specialist expertise through our dedicated sector teams, including for sport, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics, retail, recruitment and more.
Secondments & professional development
Our experts are happy to undertake secondments and reverse secondments, tailored to your exact requirements. We go above and beyond — working as part of your in-house team and adapting to your culture while taking on leadership roles when required.
Recent examples of our work include providing interim legal counsel at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and maternity cover at Booking.com and Travel Counsellors.
We also appreciate that life as a hectic in-house lawyer can mean little time for professional development. That’s why we offer a range of bespoke training programmes — whether delivered on-site, at our offices or virtually — to help you stay abreast of developments.
We can further provide regular legal and commercial updates, invitations to seminars and networking opportunities, as well as research resources, library access and the use of our modern, comfortable offices.
With a wide range of fee options available — including banked hours, retainers and fixed fees — we can discuss your options to ensure that you have control and cost certainty at all times.
