Helpful insight worthy of passing along for those who might appreciate.

When your legal team has been feverishly working to fill a role (or several) for some time and the right candidate(s) haven't yet presented themselves, who ya' gonna call? (I can assure you that Ghostbusters are NOT your go-to in this scenario. 😄 ) Jokes aside, unfilled positions in legal or compliance departments can put unnecessary strain on the employees with already busy workloads and who are often pulled in too many directions. Legalpeople's ever-growing roster of highly experienced and fully-vetted attorneys are ready to step in and assist with getting the necessary work done and help meet your department's pressing deadlines. Let's connect to explore your firm or company's options and how we can be a stop-gap resource on an ongoing basis. Our services are available to you in various markets and our specialized attorneys are available for full or part-time work (and for long or short-term assignments). We can help get your legal and compliance teams to a place where your ongoing interview process isn't a stressful "rush" job, because the work continues to get done while you continue to search responsibly. And sometimes, the person we ultimately staff for you ends up being "The One." Needless to say, we love it when that happens! Message me here on LinkedIn or email me at [email protected] to learn more. We can discuss rates, timeline, the benefits we offer, and the fascinating controversy surrounding Beyonce's upcoming country album (or we can just stick to discussing rates, timeline, and the benefits we offer!) 😄 We'd love to hear from you, and make sure to also take a moment to check out our new website at www.Legalpeoplegroup.com!

"I'm not really looking." "I'm comfortable where I am." Those were the exact words from a lawyer I recently placed during our very first conversation. Let me take you back three weeks to how it all unfolded... I reached out to a lawyer working at a great Silver Circle law firm. On the surface, everything looked great: he was on track for a promotion, earning a hefty salary, and excelling in his role. But behind the scenes, the long hours were taking a toll—impacting his health and leaving no time for friends, family, or even himself. I introduced him to an opportunity for a Legal Counsel role at a fast-growing tech company. At first, he wasn't convinced. He said things like: "I'm not really looking,"  "I'm comfortable where I am," "I haven't really thought about in-house." Fair points, right? But after explaining the benefits of going in-house and suggesting he have an exploratory conversation with the client, he was willing to at least hear them out. So, we scheduled the call. The call went exceptionally well. After just one more Teams meeting and a face-to-face interview, the company made an offer—which he accepted. Now? He works more reasonable hours, feels connected to the business, and enjoys being more involved on the commercial side of things. The lesson? What might not seem ideal at first glance can evolve into something far better. All it takes is that first step.

One of my favourite parts of my job is talking to in-house teams about their biggest challenges. It helps us step into their shoes and do our job better. This week, I co-hosted the first of a Legal Counsel Roundtable series. It's facilitated, peer-to-peer discussion among in-house counsel on practical issues affecting them. Chatham House Rules and smaller groups allowed for easier discussion of: 1. Why the in-house team is important and contributes to the success of the organisation. 2. How the team manages risk in a helpful way. 3. The advantages of building relationships with in-house lawyers and commercial managers so that the organisation seeks you out early. There are limited spots available for Session 2 on 12 June. That's on managing client expectations, dealing with urgency, and effective triage and intake. If you are in-house and would like to join, message me for a spot.
