Future-Proof Your Business with Expert Legal Guidance
Ongoing legal support designed to scale with your goals.
As your business grows, we've seen how a failure to embed legal within your organisation means reactive legal advice.
It takes a lot more time, money, and resources to turn a bigger ship.
Instead, why not start early with support that is fit for purpose and can grow with you? That’s where The Legal Edit’s In-House Counsel service comes in.
Our bespoke offering provides the consistency and depth of a General Counsel / Head of Legal working directly with your executive team and in the trenches with your leaders, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Proactive Support
Regular guidance to anticipate and mitigate risks, from contract reviews to regulatory compliance.
Strategic Alignment
Legal advice that integrates with your business model and commercial objectives, whether you’re expanding into new markets or navigating operational shifts.
Scalable Solutions

The Value of Embedding Legal as a Core Competency
Over time, our aim is to transform how your organisation approaches legal by embedding it into the very fabric of your business operations.
We truly believe legal shouldn’t be an afterthought, or just be a function you turn to in times of trouble—the value it brings should be a core competency, empowering teams across your organisation with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions confidently.
We do this by working on the day to day matters, asking questions along the way that help drive improvements and competencies. This approach reduces friction and helps align day-to-day decisions with long-term strategic goals.
By treating legal as a proactive, integral part of your operations, you’ll not only manage risks more effectively but also uncover opportunities to innovate and grow.
Building these capabilities within your team creates the foundation for sustained competitive advantage—giving your business the resilience to thrive in a dynamic and challenging marketplace.
Whether you’re starting your journey with a one-off matter or looking to establish a fully-fledged in-house legal function, The Legal Edit ensures your business is equipped to integrate legal insights seamlessly into every level of decision-making, empowering teams to act with clarity and confidence.
