🤫 The Secret To Managing Workload Smartly As An In-House Lawyer Is...

Outsourcing.

It’s invaluable.

Instead of hiring another lawyer, consider an ALSP. They handle everything from contracts to compliance and speed up redlining and deal cycles.

Plus, they help prevent burnout. 💆

So, why outsource?
Short-Term: Quick legal support without the full-time commitment.
Long-Term: They provide data for future hiring or legal tech decisions.

What to outsource?

• Low Risk / Low Volume: One-off contracts? Outsource.

• Low Risk / High Volume: NDAs? Perfect for outsourcing.

• High Risk / Low-Medium Volume: Indemnity clauses? Outsource and create a playbook.

• High Risk / One-Offs: Complex litigation? Use outside counsel.

Contractors are a variable cost - flexible and adjustable based on your needs, unlike permanent hires. ALSPs understand scale-ups and offer the flexibility you need, especially during funding rounds or M&As.
