Corporate and Company Law
Corporate Representation
Continuous legal support for the operation, working directly with the business teams.
Part of a company's legal demands does not fit into a project with a beginning and an end. They are routine questions, decisions that need an answer within days, and a caseload that requires constant monitoring. Continuing representation organizes that flow through a single point of contact.
Situations the area handles
- Company with no legal department and demands scattered among several providers.
- In-house legal department needing occasional support on specific matters.
- Case portfolio with no consolidated view of risk and provisioning.
- Operational decisions made without prior legal assessment.
- Notices, assessments and summonses with no one assigned to the deadline.
What the work produces
- Continuous contact with management and with the business units.
- Management of the case portfolio with periodic status and risk reporting.
- Legal opinions and direct answers for routine decisions.
- Review of the recurring contracts of the operation.
- Monitoring of administrative and judicial deadlines.
When to seek it
When the company starts receiving legal demands regularly enough that answering them case by case costs more — in fees and in time lost — than continuous representation.
