Companies of any size face the need for legal support: drafting and reviewing contracts, consultations, protecting interests, interacting with government bodies, pre-trial, and litigation work. Businesses are faced with a choice: hire a lawyer or outsource legal support. Increasingly, the latter option is preferred, especially in the format of a long-term agreement for comprehensive legal services.
Why this is more profitable:
Cost Optimization
Maintaining a lawyer entails not only a regular salary but also taxes, social contributions, office space expenses, training, vacation pay, sick leave, and other expenses. In contrast, subscription-based legal services involve a fixed monthly fee that already includes a specific number of hours. Moreover, the cost per hour can be half of what it would be for one-off legal service orders.
Access to a Team of Specialists
A lawyer is typically a single individual with limited specialization. However, legal tasks often touch upon various branches of law: from contract and labor law to tax, corporate, and administrative law. With subscription-based services, you gain access to an entire team of lawyers, each with their own specialization and practical experience.
Flexibility
Legal practice experiences periods of both high and low workload. An employee might lack work assignments during “quiet” months and run out of time during busy periods. Outsourcing allows for flexible resource allocation and the ability to engage the necessary number of specialists depending on the current situation, without additional costs.
Confidentiality and Independence
Sometimes companies face issues that are inconvenient or unsafe to resolve internally, such as internal conflicts, HR disputes, or corporate disagreements. In such cases, an external legal firm provides an independent and objective legal position while maintaining confidentiality.
Transparency and Control
All terms of subscription-based services are stipulated in the agreement: the number of hours, types of services, and interaction procedures. You gain full control over legal expenses and know exactly which tasks are covered by the subscription fee. This eliminates unforeseen bills and allows for effective budget planning.
Real-Time Legal Support
Companies that enter into a subscription agreement receive prioritized service and can count on a prompt response even in urgent situations. Unlike searching for an external lawyer for a specific task, collaborating with a firm under a contract means we are always ready to address the issue immediately.
A long-term legal services agreement is a sensible alternative to maintaining a lawyer as a member of the staff, especially for companies that value flexibility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Instead of one employee, you get a team of professionals. Instead of unpredictable costs, you get a transparent system. Instead of HR risks, you gain a stable partnership.
