Outsourced Legal Counsel · Retainer
A Dedicated Legal Department Built for Your Business Outsourced, But Run Like an In-House Team
Whether your business already has legal staff or is still considering hiring, the A&D legal team is ready to work alongside you to build the best-in-class legal department dedicated to your business — or to extend your coverage for scopes that in-house alone struggles to cover — at a fixed, budgetable cost equivalent to just one (1) mid-level-or-below hire.
Why Retainer
Outsourced Legal Counsel — Optimize Cost & Risk
Fixed, Predictable Cost
A flat monthly fee instead of ad-hoc legal bills every time an issue arises — easy to budget for.
Fast Response, No Ramp-Up Time
A team that already understands your business — no re-briefing needed each time, unlike one-off outside counsel.
Proactive Risk Prevention
Rather than reacting to issues, the team proactively reviews, flags legal risks, and keeps you updated on relevant regulatory changes.
Complements Existing In-House Teams
Many businesses with an in-house legal team still run a retainer alongside it for specialised scopes (M&A, disputes, sector-specific licensing...) that in-house alone doesn’t have the capacity or expertise to fully cover.
Scope of Service
What’s Included in the Retainer Package?
Scope is flexible and tailored to each business’s actual needs, agreed in the service contract.

Business licence amendments, BOD/GMS resolutions and minutes, capital contribution documentation.

Day-to-Day Contract Review
Review and input on commercial and employment contracts arising during operations — within the package scope.
