Insourcing solutions and legal advice on a project basis
Through my firm, BallingSchmidt, I offer insourcing solutions and legal advice on a project basis to businesses.
My services are offered in the form of a flexible legal in-house resource where I either supplement your permanent legal team as an additional resource or act as the sole legal in-house person and as such serve as the legal function on my own.
In short, the services can be divided into the following categories:
- Ad-hoc legal assistance on a stand-alone project, e.g. negotiation of a large contract.
- Various legal support on an interim basis, such as cover during peak periods in a team, maternity cover, illness, or other forms of absence.
- Ongoing legal support as part of a long-term solution, where I will be part of your team and either assigned a specific number of hours per week, or be available to assist as and when the need arises without any time commitment.
The services include legal support within
