If cost were not an issue, would you use more legal advice?

Nearly every time you ask C-suite executives or board members this question, the answer is a resounding “YES”. But the same people rightly feel an obligation to have to explain to others how they could justify the perceived cost. Most agree there is a need, but many are reluctant to take up the cause.

So, you need to move the debate away from perceived cost to perceived benefits. Consider the possibly transformative effect in taking on temporary outside help, like tapping into expertise, the necessity in getting a project done, the peace of mind in having an excessive workload lessened, the freedom of getting the job finished and being able to move on to other things.

And think about this:

• Increasing legal workload.
• Increasing need for lawyers to play a bigger role in commercial strategies.
• Litigation.
• Contract review.
• Need to increase operational efficiency.
• Increasingly onerous regulatory environment.
• Legal staff taking planned or unplanned leave.
• Temporarily, you just have too much work on.
• You have some work or a special project which is outside your comfort zone.
• You want some back up so your existing staff can become more involved in a special project.
• There is a change in the law affecting your industry and you need to plan compliance.
• Your company is undergoing some restructuring e.g. M&A, disposals, redundancies.
• New commercial initiatives which require legal or IP support.

If any of the above keep you awake at night, Kevin would welcome the opportunity to discuss with you whether he could help.
