Frequently asked
Legal, contracts & compliance: your questions
Can Corporate Counsel take over our employment law matters?
These specialisms must be assessed separately. Describe the matters and stakeholders in each area. General in-house legal experience does not establish expertise in every subject.
What is the difference between Contracts Counsel and a Contract Manager?
The distinction depends on the assigned work, qualifications and approvals. A portfolio may need legal analysis, operational tracking of obligations or both, with separate responsibilities.
Can we bring in temporary legal support?
Tell us about the matters, tasks and deadlines. We discuss the specialism and qualifications with your legal department, then the arrangement appropriate for the temporary need.
What should we specify for a compliance role?
Describe the relevant area, entities, procedures to follow or improve and key contacts. Explain whether the professional will lead the function, perform checks or track actions with the teams. Controls and risk mapping fall within internal audit, internal control and risk.
Should we send contracts before the first discussion?
A description of the portfolio, the languages, the matters and the deadlines is enough to begin. The documents themselves come later, shared with the people you choose under the confidentiality terms you agree.
