Support for General Counsel

As a general counsel, your role is broad, demanding, and often extends beyond your core legal expertise. Often, you just don’t have the time to dive deep into every issue, yet you’re expected to provide clear, strategic guidance across the business.

Whether your background lies outside commercial law, intellectual property, or data protection, or you’re navigating a temporary gap in your legal team, we’re here to support you with clarity and confidence.

Whilst we are predominantly based in the Midlands, we regularly advise national and international companies via Microsoft Teams which has enabled us to be more responsive in the fast paced commercial environment.
