Secondment Request Planner & Support™
The ultimate secondment planning and support toolkit
The Problem
You need a secondee from your law firm and want to get the right fit.
Related challenges include:
- your team doesn’t have a consistent approach to requesting secondees from your external counsel
- you know it takes time to write a detailed secondment request document
- law firms tend to offer “B team" lawyers for secondments
- law firms are typically slow to mobilize against secondment requests
- secondments are notoriously expensive so you need the right secondee
- this is an important secondment so you must get a “great fit”
- standard forms drive quality and efficiency - but you do not have them
- your team is permanently operating beyond capacity and you need help now
Wouldn't it be great if you could access a secondment planning tool-kit that allowed you to plan and produce an accurate secondment request, how to set your secondment up for success and to give you access to immediate support if you need?
The GLS Solution
Secondment Request Planner & Support™ provides a total secondment planning support solution to help make your next secondment the strategic success that you need it to be.
The base inclusion of this solution is the secondment request template which delivers you a clear framework for you to simply “plug-in” the key details of the secondee that you need – making it much easier for your counsel to understand and address your needs.
Secondment Request Planner & Support™ allows you to simply “plug-in” key points of information against a range of compelling reference points that help to precisely define your secondee requirements.
You could re-invent the wheel and produce a request yourself, or you could save yourself a few hours of work and get a high quality template that has been crafted for you.
This template covers: secondment period, location, required legal skills, required commercial/in-house skills, experience levels, roles & responsibilities, reporting requirements and fees.
This solution includes additional support options to access a detailed secondment planning tool, a guide to achieve a great secondment outcome and also access to interim legal support options if you need help immediately.
