General Counsel Services
Forget notions of ‘disruption’ or ‘new law’. For over 8 years, Blackstone Waterhouse has offered short, medium and long term secondment arrangements or ‘General Counsel’ services to clients across the property, planning and construction spectrum – from SMEs to publicly listed and international contractors and developers.
Our General Counsel Services combine the flexibility of the law firm model with the cost certainty of employing an in-house lawyer. You get access to a lawyer for a fixed number of hours every week, as well as on call, whenever you need them. From junior or mid-level lawyers to senior partner/special counsel level practitioners, this additional service offering provides clients as an alternative to our standard time billing framework.
Clients have used such services for specific projects – such as a watching brief on an arbitration or litigation, or for the convenience of having a notional ‘in house’ lawyer for more general legal services.
When you choose our general counsel service, you’ll always have someone on hand to help guide your business.
