Third Circle Legal Ltd
Leeds, United Kingdom
After a career at traditional law firms and then over 3 years in industry, I left my position as Senior Legal Counsel in order to develop my own consultancy business primarily focused on assisting businesses achieve commercial objectives within a legal framework which is understood, designed to complement the objectives, and focused on striking the right balance between risk mitigation and opportunity generation.Third Circle Legal.....commercially focused legal solutions developed from the inside out.Third Circle Legal turns the "traditional" law firm model in its head. As a client, I get that you don't want to feel the pressure that as soon as you pick up the phone to your advisor, the clock starts ticking. Where is the value proposition in a ticking clock?Underpinning the commercial model are three core principles:1. Skinny Overheads - No bills for big glass offices, PAs, and city centre "gravitas". You simply pay for years of specialist blue chip experience which sits at the heart of the service. In that respect, Third Circle Legal rates are a fraction of those in traditional "private practice". 2. Mutual Investment - because you pay a dramatically reduced rate, with the savings passed directly to you, it gives you the economic flexibility to make a longer term investment in your legal services requirements. This enables Third Circle Legal to take a much more informed position within your business as it enables me to spend time with you to identify the commercial challenges, think about them with you, and formulate a plan to deal with them.3. Simple Commercial Model - Third Circle Legal enters into term arrangements with clients; so I can act as "in-house counsel" to you...just without the HR risk that comes with employing one! In close consultation, between us we work out with you how many days a month your business needs. If you don't use the allocation in a particular month, we roll it forward to the next.
