In-house legal support,
without the in-house overhead
Every organisation needs access to experienced legal support. Not every organisation needs a full-time legal advisor, and when every matter is sent to an external firm, legal costs become difficult to predict.
You don't necessarily need a lawyer on your payroll. You don't necessarily need another law firm. You need access to experienced legal support when your organisation needs it.
Squareline sits between two models
There has traditionally been a choice between employing an in-house legal professional and sending each matter to an external law firm as it arises. Squareline was established to offer a third option.
We become a trusted extension of your business or organisation, developing an understanding of your operations, contracts, commercial relationships and objectives. This provides the continuity and accessibility of an in-house legal function, combined with the flexibility of an external consultant.
Legal support that understands the business behind it
More than legal advice
Legal issues rarely exist in isolation. A contract affects a commercial relationship; a lease affects the performance of a business; a governance decision has operational consequences. We understand what you aim to achieve, identify what could stand in the way, and give advice capable of implementation.
The value of continuity
With ongoing support you are not starting from the beginning every time an issue arises. We become familiar with your business, your agreements and your structures, so when a contract arrives or management needs to make a decision with legal implications, you already know who to turn to.
Structured around you
Support can be shaped around what you actually need: ongoing retainer support, project-specific assistance, strategic intervention, or advice as matters arise. No rigid packages, and no surprises in the way legal costs behave.
Six areas of focus
From contracts and commercial advisory through to governance, public sector institutions and strategic projects, with particular depth in the franchise, property and public sector environments.
You don't necessarily need a lawyer on your payroll. You don't necessarily need another law firm. You need access to experienced legal support when your organisation needs it.
