How to juggle an overwhelming workload as a sole legal counsel

Transition from a sole legal counsel into a strategic business partner

We work with legal teams of all shapes and sizes. Large organizations are often fortunate to have different lawyers specializing in different areas, whereas smaller businesses are often reliant on one or two generalist powerhouses working across a diverse range of areas.

No matter the size, it is well documented that legal teams are experiencing increasing workloads/expectations, yet stagnant or decreasing budgets. And while it’s a problem for everyone, we often see it’s the smaller teams that seem to be drowning the most.

But you don’t need big budgets to improve how legal work gets done. Even if there is no budget, legal teams can have a huge impact on the business by implementing a few changes.
