Home  /  External Legal Department

Your on-demand legal team, without the overhead.

For fast-growing companies, a full-time in-house lawyer is often cost-prohibitive. Our External Legal Department gives you a virtual in-house counsel, tailored to your business.

How It Works

A dedicated legal function, on a predictable monthly fee.

A LEXCAP lawyer advising a client

With an ELD retainer, you get a dedicated lawyer or team who genuinely knows your company, not a rotating cast billing by the six-minute unit.

  • A dedicated lawyer (or team) familiar with your business
  • A fixed monthly fee covering routine legal work
  • On-call support for questions and contract reviews
  • Monthly reports on legal issues and emerging risk

It's like having your own legal department, without the salary, benefits and management overhead.

The Benefits

Four reasons companies choose the ELD.

Cost Efficiency

A predictable flat fee replaces unpredictable hourly bills: legal spend you can actually budget for.

Agility

Quicker turnaround, because we already understand your business, contracts and risk profile.

Full-Firm Expertise

Access to the entire firm's expertise on demand, not limited to a single generalist.

Risk Management

Ongoing compliance checks and proactive advice that prevents problems before they surface.

Who It's For

Ideal for growing companies without full-time counsel.

Local SMEs, startups, and subsidiaries of larger groups that need comprehensive, ongoing legal support, but aren't ready to carry a high-salary General Counsel.
