The GLS Solution
GLS Legal Dept Set Up Toolkit™ is a toolkit which set out all the essential resources and key considerations to which you need to have access or regard to when setting up your legal department.
This solution is effectively a BoQ listing of essential items and procedures that a world class legal team would typically have in place for you to consider whether they are needed in your newly established legal department.
This toolkit provides you with:
- a powerful reference model of what a fully resourced legal function would look like by reference to best practice
- an ability to cherry pick only that which you need for your legal team context
- an ability to assess the presence of those resources within the existing business
- the ability to work out what you need to develop and/or procure
- the ability to formulate budgets for establishing your legal team
- to set realistic expectations for the Board about what your team can do during the set up phase
- the ability to start prioritizing your set up activities
- test the support your Board/Owner is really prepared to provide your legal team.
Setting up a legal department can be a perfect opportunity to create a truly efficiently legal function without the overhang of legacy infrastructure, processes and personalities. However, it is a large undertaking if you do not know what you are doing.
If you want to set up a high performance legal team from Day 1 - if you want to demonstrate real legal team leadership through a confident approach to formulating your legal team set up blueprint - this is an essential resource for you.
We believe that this toolkit surpasses by a large magnitude anything that is available from any corporate counsel type association we have encountered globally.
Consultancy support to help you set up your legal team is also available.
Problem Solved.
