Why Us?
You're scaling fast. Legal is getting complicated. Bigger customers. New products. Growing cap table. Investor scrutiny. Complex contracts. Governance questions you haven't had to answer before.
Right now that's landing on whoever's nearest — the founder, CEO, COO, CFO...or a lean legal team already at capacity.
You need senior legal support from someone who gets your business. But a full-time GC is a big hire. Traditional law firms may not always be the right fit for the day-to-day legal needs of a scaling business. And if you already have legal in-house — another permanent head isn't always the answer either.
There's another way.
We give you senior in-house legal expertise, embedded in your business, without the headcount and on flexible terms. We've been inside fast-growth companies at exactly your stage. We keep legal moving. So you can keep growing.
LEGAL OFF YOUR PLATE
Let us handle legal. You keep building.

What We Do
for Business
Embedded in-house legal support for companies without internal legal capability - ongoing, integrated and without the cost of a full-time hire.
TYPICAL USE CASES:
Businesses that are scaling, selling into larger customers, or handling more complexity than the founder or executive team should carry alone
Leadership teams wanting senior in-house experience without a full-time hire
Companies looking for pragmatic lawyers who get their business
How it Works
STRUCTURE
At the outset, we discuss your requirements and agree the most appropriate model. For ongoing support, engagements are typically structured around a monthly allocation of hours. Time is deployed flexibly across the month - not tied to fixed days - reflecting the realities of scaling businesses. As demand changes, support can scale up or down. There is no long-term lock-in. For ad hoc support, work is usually scoped and delivered on a fixed-fee basis. Paperwork and onboarding are handled quickly so we can begin supporting your team without delay.
INTEGRATION
We operate within your business - integrating into your operating rhythm and working with internal and external stakeholders through the channels you already use. Ahead of the start date, we complete structured onboarding, reviewing key documents and meeting stakeholders so we are fully briefed and ready from day one.
SCOPE
Experienced in-house lawyers who understand your business and move at your pace. We help you prioritise what matters, build scalable legal processes, and manage the legal challenges that come with growth. Typical support covers commercial transactions, data protection, corporate governance, fundraising and exit preparation, product advisory, SaaS, AI and legal operations. Importantly, we help leadership teams make practical, risk-based decisions quickly.
