We have been a little quiet here on LinkedIn recently - mainly because we've been extremely busy with new instructions 😊 🚀 But we've also been listening, learning and thinking about what we want Kandola & Gow Legal to be and who we feel best placed to serve. For most of our careers we have both worked in-house, advising large businesses, either as in-house legal team employees or contractors / consultants. This is what we know and what we excel at. And that’s why we’ve decided to focus on this. A couple of months ago, we won an instruction from a global engineering company (ID confidential) to provide fractional counsel services for three days per week to their UK & Ireland team. And we were ideally positioned to help, because: 🤓 WE ARE EXPERTS 🤓 Engineering and Energy are both sectors that Amrit and I have worked in before, having advised companies such as Rotork, Equans, Siemens and EOn on commercial and construction matters over the past few years, via Alternative Legal Service Providers (“ALSPs”); 💪 WE ARE RELIABLE 💪 Because there are two of us focusing on the same type of work, we can absorb twice the amount of work as single individual competitors. This also enables us to guarantee reliability through redundancy. 💰 WE COST LESS THAN AN ALSP 💰 It is seen as uncouth to talk about fees. But frankly, we know how much ALSPs such as the consultancy / flexible resourcing arms of major law firms have charged their clients for our services when we have worked via them, and we offer the same service – except we will be directly invested and therefore more engaged - at approximately 60-70% of their prices. 💰 💰 WE COST LESS THAN EMPLOYING SOMEONE 💰 💰 Even before the Chancellor announced increases in Employer National Insurance contributions in the recent Labour Budget, making it more expensive for companies to employ people, we maintain that we are the most cost-effective solution for manning or supplementing your legal in-house team. No IR35 compliance issues. No NI contributions. No employee benefits package to figure out. Just highly-experienced in-house legal advice with overheads kept to a minimum. 🔤 WE ARE EASY TO ENGAGE 🔤 In our experience, GCs / Heads of Legal may have the autonomy to appoint us even if the wider company or group has a panel of global firms whom they may usually instruct when seeking to ‘go external’. This is because we are providing consultancy services only, usually at a spend level below £50,000. And we don’t count as permanent headcount, which usually means our fees can be drawn from a different budget. Of course, policies will vary from one company to another, but this has been our experience. We *will* save your company money compared to the alternatives without sacrificing the calibre of the service you receive. We very much look forward to resolving your in-house legal team resourcing challenges in 2025. Contact us now at hello@kandolagow.legal to find out how. 💼#FractionalLegalCounsel

Fractional General Counsel Service Small businesses, start-ups and scale-ups almost always do not have the resources or demand to hire permanent legal in-house support or retain a traditional law firm. That’s why we decided to make our Fractional General Counsel (FGC) Service a cornerstone of Kandola & Gow’s service offering. With FGC, the business pays for a predetermined and fixed “fraction” of your business’s notional GC’s time. FGC offers businesses access to a seasoned in-house lawyer who will serve as your GC, whilst retaining strict control over costs. We’ll provide legal advice, guidance, and representation to your business, just like a full-time GC would do, but with the ability to flex the support to match the dynamic needs of your business. You will have access to high quality legal expertise, tailored to the needs of your business, without the budgetary commitments, allowing you to grow it, confident that you are managing and mitigating legal and business risks appropriately.  We offer a variety of subscription models - please contact us at hello@kandolagow.legal to find out more. Key Advantages of FGC: 1. Cost-Effective: Hiring full-time in-house counsel is a significant financial commitment for many businesses, whereas Kandola & Gow’s FGC Service offers high quality legal expertise and resources without the associated costs of a full-time GC or the rigidity, cost and compromises associated with instructing a traditional law firm. 2. Flexible and Scalable: Businesses are able to tailor the level of legal support required based on their current needs rather than the intractable fee structure that traditional law firms impose, or the expectations or overheads involved in employing an individual. As your business grows or its legal needs change, the level of legal support can be adjusted as you require. Use Example: You could instruct us for a set number of hours per week or per month at a set rate, with a separate agreed overflow rate if required. Or you could subscribe to our bi-weekly or monthly check-in service, saving your legal work up to be neatly dealt with and your FGC instructed at a regular diarised virtual meeting. Let us know what would make your life easiest and we'll find a solution. 3. Specialised Expertise: Businesses often encounter a wide range of legal challenges. With over 25 years of experience across various industries and sectors, our Fractional General Counsel Service brings a diverse set of skills and experiences, allowing businesses to benefit from a wide spectrum of legal expertise. 4. Strategic Partner:  We will be embedded within your business with an in-depth knowledge of the challenges you face, advising on issues as they arise and proactively contributing legal and business insights. Finally - we are always listening and would welcome any suggestions to make our FGC Service even more appealing. See https://lnkd.in/ekppp7-i Until next time… Amrit and Cam
