The Comparison
Half the cost.
No compromise.
The true cost of an in-house general counsel goes well beyond salary. Employer's National Insurance, pension contributions, bonus, benefits, recruitment fees, and the cost of covering a vacancy all add up. Our packages replace that entire picture with a single, predictable annual fee.
