Expert Counsel. Without the Headcount. With the Focus.
Some businesses can’t afford to operate in legal isolation — not because they’re at risk, but because they’re making moves that involve regulators, stakeholders, investors, and cross-border implications all at once.
For these organisations — scale-ups, family offices, private equity-backed ventures, and regulated entities — legal issues aren’t occasional. They’re structural. And strategic decisions without seasoned legal framing are too expensive to guess through.
The Embedded Legal Partner is our most involved legal relationship. It’s not a hotline or a task list. It’s a structured, senior-level legal integration into your business’s executive layer — where legal advice becomes part of your decision-making rhythm, not a reactive tool you call when things go wrong.
Why Sophisticated Organisations Need Embedded Legal Thinking
As your operation grows in complexity — across jurisdictions, product lines, or capital structures — so do the legal implications. You’re no longer dealing with static laws, but with interpretation, enforcement patterns, and stakeholders who think in legal terms: investors, regulators, partners, and boards.
Examples:
- Structuring a group reorganisation to optimise for tax, compliance, and governance- Negotiating commercial agreements where liability caps, IP ownership, and enforcement need careful framing
- Prepping for regulatory scrutiny across multiple departments
- Navigating leadership transitions or ownership restructuring
In these cases, surface-level legal answers don’t cut it. You need a partner who understands your commercial context, risk tolerance, internal politics, and long-term trajectory — and can guide legal decisions that reflect all four.
This package exists to provide that kind of partnership.

What the Embedded Legal Partner Relationship Delivers
This is a retained strategic relationship, delivered with deep context, discretion, and continuity. Here's how that takes shape each quarter:
1. Executive Legal Advisory (4+ Sessions / Quarter)
Senior counsel meets regularly with your leadership team to shape legal thinking around operations, strategy, and compliance. These are working sessions, not lectures — built around decisions you're actively making:
- Restructuring entities or subsidiaries- Preparing for investment or capital raise
- Board-level governance or resolution planning
- Addressing director, shareholder, or regulatory conflict
Each conversation builds institutional insight — so future advice gets sharper.
2. Legal Projects Leadership (1 Major Initiative / Quarter)
We take the lead on one significant legal project per quarter, managing its execution from strategy through implementation. Examples:
- Licensing project with regulator engagement- Transactional contract suite review (e.g. franchising, supply chain)
- Employment structure overhaul or ESG audit
- Cross-border entry with layered regulatory filings
You’re not chasing external consultants to align. You’re working with a senior lawyer who’s already inside your operating logic.
3. On-Demand Legal Input (Daily Touchpoints, As Needed)
When key conversations arise — a sudden investor demand, a regulatory visit, a dispute in motion — we’re available for short calls, written input, or in-person presence. You don’t book hours. You reach out.
This is how embedded counsel functions: responsive, prepared, and fluent in your business context.
4. Board & Governance Support
We assist in preparing legal sections of board packs, reviewing minutes and resolutions, and advising on directors' duties, disclosures, and potential conflicts.
Our role is not only legal but political — guiding how sensitive issues are handled within your leadership team.
5. Document Drafting, Redlining & Review (Unlimited Within Reasonable Scope)
You’ll receive hands-on support for drafting, redlining, and negotiating the documents that matter: NDAs, service contracts, shareholder agreements, loan documentation, commercial terms, and more.
We apply commercial logic — not legal bloat — to every draft.
Who This Package is Built For
The Embedded Legal Partner is designed for:
- Mid- to large-sized businesses operating across jurisdictions or sectors- Startups post-Series A facing complex governance or investment structuring
- Family-owned companies preparing for generational transition
- Regulated entities needing consistent board-level legal guidance
- Any business whose legal exposure touches every executive decision
These are organisations with momentum and complexity — and the wisdom to treat legal as strategic, not administrative.
Our Philosophy — Deep Context. Commercial Sense. Total Alignment.
When you work with us at this level, we don’t operate like outsiders. We build context, document precedent, learn your structure, and keep track of the issues that matter. That context is what transforms legal advice from cautious generality to strategic clarity.
We move at the speed of your business. We speak like partners. And we take the burden of legal thinking off your CEO’s desk — while giving leadership better inputs for every decision that counts.
