Service overview

What is retainer legal advisory?

Retainer legal advisory is a model in which a business engages a team of lawyers to stay continuously involved, rather than hiring a full-time in-house lawyer or only contacting a lawyer when an issue arises. It is, in essence, an outsourced in-house counsel service — the business pays a fixed monthly fee to have a lawyer always ready to advise, review and flag risk across every business activity.

Compared with hiring a full-time in-house lawyer, this model saves businesses significant costs in salary, insurance and training, while still providing access to a specialized team across multiple fields (contracts, labor, intellectual property, litigation) rather than a single individual. Compared with hiring a lawyer case by case, retainer advisory allows the lawyer to develop a deep understanding of the business's specifics over time, enabling proactive risk-prevention advice rather than only addressing the consequences after an issue has already occurred.

Cost savings compared with a full-time in-house lawyer

No fixed salary, social insurance, training or benefits costs — just a fixed service fee based on the agreed package.

Access to a specialized, multi-disciplinary team

Instead of a single in-house lawyer having to cover every field, the business is supported by specialists assigned to each area: contracts, labor, IP and litigation.

Proactive prevention instead of reacting to consequences

A lawyer who stays continuously engaged understands the business's operations well, detecting and flagging legal risks early before they become costly disputes.
