Your Legal Manager is a provider of outsourced in-house counsel services to enable companies that do not have an in-house legal staff to convert their unmanaged legal work into a well-managed, controlled, and budgeted part of the company’s business. Companies with an inhouse general counsel can use Your Legal Manager as an on-call fractional counsel, when and as needed. Your Legal Manager seeks to do that without adding materially to, and even reducing, the expense of the company’s legal services. By providing experienced legal counsel assistance, Your Legal Manager assists companies to avoid or minimize unexpected legal risks, while also managing the efficient handling of the company’s legal projects, from inception to completion.
Your Legal Manager understands that the direct management of legal matters by company executives is often unproductive and inefficient, whether the matter involves litigation, contracts or transactions. Similarly, in-house legal groups can be overloaded with projects that as a result are finished late or finished without receiving sufficient expert attention. By retaining Your Legal Manager, companies with or without an in-house legal staff can achieve higher-quality and more cost-effective legal results and free the executives to focus on the company’s business.
Your Legal Manager spends the time to learn its clients’ business and industry, stays in active communication with its clients’ executives, and selects and introduces independent attorneys for each of the company’s legal needs that Your Legal Manager cannot handle itself. Your Legal Manager then works with the company to retain the attorneys selected by the client for each project not being handled by Your Legal Manager
Your Legal Manager’s involvement continues throughout the performance of the legal work involved in the projects assigned to outside attorneys, monitoring and evaluating, from the company’s perspective, the work of the attorney or law firm handling each matter. By hiring Your Legal Manager, companies can avoid the overhead expenses that would be generated by law firms and in-house counsel departments performing those tasks. For services that Your Legal Manager can perform, the fees should be less than the rates charged by outside law firms. Legal matters such as management contracts, board and shareholder actions, and various agreements, including Confidentiality NDAs, IP licenses and cross-border product distribution arrangements, may be done by Your Legal Manager, only if the company determines that doing so will be a more cost-effective and productive way to proceed than using an outside law firm to handle the project.
Take the next step toward more effectively handling your legal operations.
