I founded Rethink Legal to help solve the challenges that I experienced first-hand during 20 years working in private practice and global in-house roles: as an in-house lawyer, frustration at the time spent on low-level, repetitive tasks and the same questions being asked by the business over and over again; as external counsel, the inability to influence the things that really matter to the client; and as a client myself, the knowledge that hourly billing does nothing to drive efficiency and simplification.I firmly believe that:• it is possible for small businesses to have access to experienced, pragmatic, business focused legal expertise, even if you don’t need (or have the budget for) a dedicated lawyer. • it is possible for lawyers and their clients to have open conversations about fees and the value delivered by legal services - and in many cases, to adopt alternative fee structures such as retainers and fixed fees; and • it is possible to simplify legal processes, manage risk, improve efficiency and reduce cost, either by making changes internally (technology helps here), or by leveraging external managed services. Sometimes you just need a helping hand to get started. Rethink Legal bridges the gap between business and law, acting as outsourced general counsel, sparring partner, commercial legal advisor, and legal operations manager - with the flexibility of an external provider. We help companies deliver on their legal technology and digitization objectives from project initiation through to vendor selection, implementation and change management. Why rethink? I believe that to grow and achieve our goals - as individuals and in business - we must challenge ourselves to think differently, to push ourselves out of the “comfort zone”. As a runner, I know how much this is true in sport - but it applies equally in business. This is the spirit of Rethink Legal. Feel free to connect with me for coffee, for a run, or just to talk (about legal, contracts, tech, sport or anything else). Find out more at www.rethinklegal.ch
