Outsourcing Legal Services

Having a Legal Team composed of legal experts employed on the basis of a labor contract may not be the best solution when the organization has too few operations that need legal assistance, or the headcount based on labor contract is a parameter closely monitored by the auditors and shareholders.

On the other hand, apart from the absence of personnel administration costs, the relationship with independent lawyers benefits from attorney-client privilege, which secures better the confidentiality of all the business aspects and the independent lawyers have mandatory professional liability insurance, which ensures a higher degree of reliability.

The outsourcing of the legal services could have different degrees. It could consist of a complete transfer of the responsibility for the Legal Security Strategy Development and Implementation, or in the partial transfer of the responsibility for certain more sensitive areas, or in the transfer of some specific operations, transactions or disputes.

From our experience, we strongly recommend the integrated complete outsourcing that brings coherence, consistency, long-term commitment and accountability.
