What legal support does your business need?
Beyond a single legal hire
When your business needs more day to day legal capacity, hiring an in-house lawyer may seem like the natural next step. But each single recruit gives you one person’s available time, experience and range of expertise, together with the fixed cost and operational dependency that come with it.
Clearlake provides flexible access to a complete managed legal team instead at a price point comparative to a single legal hire. We combine lawyers at different levels of seniority with specialist legal expertise, trusted panel firms and a senior relationship lead who takes responsibility for coordinating the whole service.
Our service is brought together through Clearlake One, our connected legal platform. On the platform, your stakeholders can track all matters, contracts and workflows, access relevant information and use self-service tools for routine legal tasks.
More capability in one model
Your Clearlake team and service model is designed around the day to day legal work your business actually needs. We combine premium legal talent, flexible resourcing, specialist coverage and connected technology within one managed service and one predictable and fixed monthly fee.
The right lawyer for each matter
Different matters require different levels of experience. Your Clearlake team can include lawyers at several levels of seniority and price, allowing routine work to be handled efficiently while senior judgement remains available for complex, sensitive or strategically important issues.
One accountable relationship lead
A senior Clearlake lawyer acts as your principal point of contact and develops a close understanding of your business, priorities and risk appetite. Clearlake remains responsible for coordinating the wider team, allocating work and maintaining consistency across the service.
Specialist expertise when needed
Your business is unlikely to need every legal specialism every day. Clearlake gives you managed access to expertise across the disciplines relevant to day-to-day business, together with trusted panel firms for matters requiring deeper or jurisdiction-specific support.
One connected legal platform
Clearlake One sits between your business and our legal team, creating a single view of the work being delivered. Senior stakeholders can track all matters and contracts, monitor progress and access organised information while business users can initiate selected workflows and self-serve for routine contracts.
UK and international support
Clearlake combines an SRA-authorised English law practice with international capabilities. We can provide a UK legal footprint, support work across Europe and advise on international matters to suit your operations and business footprint.
Premium sector experience
Our lawyers come from Magic Circle and leading US firm backgrounds and bring substantial in-house and blue-chip experience. We focus on sectors we understand deeply, including software, fintech, crypto, advanced manufacturing and engineering.
Capacity that flexes with you
Your legal requirements will change as transactions, projects and business pressures develop. Our monthly model allows the composition and capacity of your legal team to evolve without requiring repeated recruitment exercises or leaving permanent headcount underused when demand falls.
Legal support built around your needs
Clearlake’s service is designed to suit your needs. We can be your organisation’s complete outsourced legal team, we can establish a dependable UK or European legal footprint for international businesses or we can add capacity and specialist expertise to an existing in-house legal department.
With our model, you gain broad expertise, resilience and complete visibility of all your matters without the overhead and effort of recruiting and managing every member of your in-house legal team. As your needs change, your Clearlake team and platform can simply evolve with them.
