The Challenge

A global technology company undergoing a significant organizational restructuring needed immediate, flexible legal support across commercial, intellectual property, and corporate matters without the cost or commitment of full-time hires or heavy outside counsel reliance.

The client’s in-house legal team was stretched thin during a complex restructuring that created urgent needs across multiple practice areas. The evolving nature of the work meant scope and intensity could shift at any time. The company needed seasoned legal professionals who could step in quickly, operate independently, and scale their involvement up or down as priorities changed.

 

The Solution

Legalpeople deployed three senior legal professionals on flexible, scalable engagements through its Interim Counsel+ model. Each resource was selected for deep subject-matter expertise and the ability to integrate seamlessly with the in-house team.

A Commercial Contracting / Procurement Attorney supported negotiation of customer and vendor agreements, assisted with procurement workflows, and helped update internal contracting playbooks.

An Intellectual Property / Artificial Intelligence Attorney advised on intellectual property strategy tied to the company’s technology roadmap, shaped a risk-aware patent filing approach, and coordinated with outside counsel on patent landscape analysis.

A Corporate Paralegal supported analysis and optimization of the company’s global entity structure, assessed compliance and operational considerations, and advised on opportunities to streamline entity-related support.

 

The Results

Legalpeople’s Interim Counsel+ model enabled rapid deployment of specialized legal talent during a period of change. Flexible engagement models aligned to shifting business needs, delivering meaningful cost savings while maintaining strategic continuity across commercial, IP, and corporate initiatives.

The client’s legal team stayed focused on strategic priorities throughout the restructuring, supported by experienced, right-sized legal resources exactly when and where they were needed.

 

The Impact

• Rapid deployment of specialized legal talent during a period of change

• Flexible engagement models aligned to shifting business needs

• Meaningful cost savings by avoiding full-time hires and overreliance on outside counsel
