Contract lawyer offering launched by Addleshaw Goddard

CORPORATE law firm Addleshaw Goddard has launched AG Integrate, a contract lawyer offering and a first for the firm.

Ag Integrate will provide a resource to place self-employed lawyers within clients’ businesses to provide additional counsel for “discrete” projects or to provide additional expertise for a designated period of time.

The offering will allow the firm to supplement its workforce and be able to help with workflow and transaction peaks.

Greg Bott, head of the client development centre and AG Integrate said: “This is a really exciting development for the firm, which supports our strategy of client, business and people focus.

“Our people will benefit from a potential alternative career option; our clients will benefit from quality assured legal resource that can be integrated to meet their needs; and our business will benefit through additional income opportunities and access to a wider pool of talent.”

Katherine Rathbone, HR manager at AG added: Our long-term investment in client relationships and our deep understanding of our clients’ businesses and sectors means we can match the right resource to each assignment.”
