In-House Legal
Today’s In-house Legal Departments alike face a fundamentally impossible task. They face increasing pressure to deliver more (legal, risk and compliance based support) with less (resource, time and money). If this is not the plight of your in-house team, then you probably work in the tobacco industry. The work that GLS Law does in this space is truly ground-breaking. Our in-house practice focuses on helping your team leverage the legal team assets that your business has already deployed. Put another way, we show you how to avoid using us in a traditional advisory capacity wherever possible. This is our idea of Law – Rewritten.
We offer a powerful array of solutions that can massively boost the productivity and support outcomes of your legal team whilst reducing time and cost. Our team can deploy our proprietary tools, solutions, methodologies to extract significant productivity gains across every aspect of the in-house function. We have yet to encounter an in-house team which we have not been able to effectively assist. We are experts in all aspects of the set-up, management and efficient operation of in-house legal departments. Our team can assist in optimising and increasing the performance and efficiency of existing available resources, in addition to providing planning around budgeting, growth, rationalization and the resourcing of special or extraordinary project activity.
