There are numerous benefits for legal teams in utilizing flexible resourcing. These include the ability to access extra capacity at multiple levels of seniority to handle large-scale legal matters without increasing the size of permanent teams, or providing specialist knowledge, expertise, and the skills needed temporarily to support transactions, regulatory projects, and disputes. Flexible resourcing can also help provide cover for extended absences, for instance lawyers on secondment, taking parental or caring leave, or it can help fill interim management roles following the departure of a general counsel or head of legal while the company recruits a replacement.
