Gallagher & Co Consultants Limited

As the demand for specialized legal expertise grows, many legal organizations look to qualified independent legal consultants for help. Our qualified professionals provide a range of services to augment the internal capabilities of a law firm or legal department on a short-term or project basis. There are many situations in which clients seek our services, which is the result of an industry difficulty to secure skilled legal professionals. Law firms have requested us due to a need for project-based lawyers who specialize in high-demand areas of expertise, like litigation, tax, technology, compliance, eDiscovery, data privacy and security, and records management to name just a few. Despite corporations typically employing in-house counsel to handle litigation and general council needs, they often call on us for extra help during peak workload periods and for projects requiring specialized expertise they lack internally. Companies seek our experts with business and legal know-how to help with strategic planning, research and analysis, tax, international compliance, and employee training amongst other things. Small and medium-size businesses and law firms don’t have the budget to maintain fulltime qualified employees and engage our services to assist them with matters that need multiple hands for a short period of time, such as a heavy case load, complex trial, or one-off project. This saves them long term employment exposure for work that is irregular or of a short duration. Others — for example, when they need specialized advice on workplace legal issues, such as employee misconduct, unlawful termination and compliance infractions, policy development and tax compliance — often engage us to handle these complex areas finding legal consultants to be more effective.
