Legal support for any company (business) can be organized by hiring a lawyer on a full-time basis (setting up a legal department) or receiving legal services from a law firm (on the terms of outsourcing). It is natural that sometimes both options of working with lawyers are used simultaneously and are advisable.
Forms of rendering legal services in Ukraine on the terms of outsourcing:
Legal support for business in Ukraine on the terms of outsourcing depends on the tasks assigned and can be organized as:
– daily work of a lawyer (team of lawyers) in customer’s office;
– remote legal support (consultations, editing, and drafting of contracts and letters, etc.);
– visiting customer’s office or another place for the period necessary for performance of legal services to the customer (consultations, negotiations);
– representation of interests in courts (litigation), law enforcement agencies, and other institutions;
– obtaining permits.
The number of lawyers (advocates) involved in the legal support for business also depends on the tasks assigned.
About the payment system of legal services in Ukraine
The work of a law firm is agreed with its customer and, therefore, the form of payment depends on the tasks assigned:
– a fixed amount per month;
– hourly rate for legal services;
– a fixed amount for certain legal services;
– mixed payment system.
In which cases to apply for legal services on the terms of outsourcing?
An outsourcing law firm in Ukraine may be required:
– if the amount of legal work for the enterprise is small and it is not advisable to have a separate full-time employee (lawyer) or whole legal department;
– if there is no need for a lawyer to be present daily in the office, but along with this all the work can be performed remotely (drawing up contracts, claims, providing advice, etc.);
– if full-time lawyers are busy with current (and no less important) legal problems of the enterprise, and they need periodic assistance in certain issues;
– if the legal services of a certain specific nature (foreign language skills, qualification in a particular branch of law, lawyer’s work abroad, work of a group of lawyers, etc.) are needed;
– if advocate assistance in court is needed;
– if the owner/director of a business wants to conduct due diligence of his/her company (or his/her legal department);
