Capacity and expertise in a managed service
Clearlake provides flexible managed legal support for businesses by delivering an experienced team, specialist expertise and connected technology.
We agree the support you need, assemble the right team and manage the service through one accountable relationship. Your monthly commitment gives you dependable access to legal capacity, while allowing the work, team and priorities to change as your business develops.
Flexible support in a fixed monthly fee
Legal work rarely arrives in neat weekly blocks. A contract may need urgent attention, a project may accelerate or several matters may become active at once.
Clearlake provides support by the hour rather than requiring you to commit to several fixed days every week. You agree a predictable monthly commitment and use the available capacity when work actually arises.
That capacity can be allocated across different matters and lawyers according to your priorities. As your requirements change, we can adjust the level of support, team structure and expertise within the service. You gain a dependable legal budget without the rigidity of permanent headcount or a fixed contractor schedule.
Assemble the right blend of expertise
A single lawyer can rarely provide the blend of seniority, specialist discipline and capacity an organisation needs.
Clearlake teams combine lawyers at different levels of experience with specialist consultants and selected panel firms.
Routine work can be handled efficiently, while senior judgement and specialist expertise remain available when a specific matter requires.
A senior relationship lead coordinates the service and makes sure the right person handles each matter. You gain broader capability without having to assemble and manage multiple providers.
What our managed legal services include
Every engagement is shaped around the client, but the underlying model remains consistent: flexible capacity, appropriate expertise, clear accountability and complete visibility across the work.
A senior relationship lead
One senior Clearlake lawyer acts as your principal point of contact and develops a close understanding of your organisation, priorities and approach to risk. Your relationship lead coordinates the team, oversees the work and makes sure the service remains aligned with your needs
Lawyers at different levels
Work is allocated according to its complexity, urgency and importance. This allows straightforward matters to be handled efficiently while senior lawyers remain available for difficult negotiations, sensitive issues and strategic decisions.
Specialist support
When a matter requires expertise outside the core team, Clearlake can bring in an appropriate specialist consultant or selected panel firm. We help coordinate that advice and maintain visibility across the wider matter, reducing fragmentation for the client.
Flexible monthly capacity
Your monthly commitment provides access to an agreed level of legal support without tying that support to several fixed working days. Capacity can be used across the month as work arises and adapted as your requirements develop.
Predictable legal spend
An agreed monthly commitment gives your business a clear and defensible legal budget. Using lawyers at different levels and rates also helps ensure that each matter is handled in a commercially sensible way.
Continuity and resilience
Your organisation is not dependent on one lawyer’s availability, knowledge or continued engagement. Clearlake maintains the wider relationship, matter history and service structure, allowing support to continue when people or requirements change.
Connected legal delivery
Clearlake One provides a shared view of matters, contracts, responsibilities and progress. The platform can also support contract data extraction, bespoke workflows and self-service automation for selected routine legal tasks.
Service management included
Clearlake does more than introduce lawyers and leave the client to manage them. We coordinate resources, allocate work, monitor delivery and review how the service should evolve as priorities change.
The type of support your organisation needs
Clearlake can provide a complete outsourced legal function, establish dependable UK legal capability or add managed capacity to an existing in-house team.
We work with you to define the right monthly commitment, team structure and working arrangements. As your requirements change, the service evolves with you.
