GLS Overflow Legal Support™
24/7/365 on-demand legal support
The Problem
The legal team is stretched beyond capacity and there is a headcount freeze.
Related challenges include:
- your team is permanently operating beyond capacity
- you are under pressure to attend to the more strategic needs of the business
- staff illnesses, holidays, maternity leave and resignations hit you hard
- there is limited budget for external support and no time to instruct
- your internal clients are sympathetic but no less demanding
- law firm secondments are temporary and come at a price
- internal morale keeps falling – sales are at risk, key projects are delayed, etc
Looks like more late nights and working weekends ahead. Joy. Who will quit next?
