I want to shed some light on the growing preference of employing contractors within the legal department and some incredible benefits it entails. • Cost Efficiency: Hiring a contractor can be more cost-effective than maintaining a full-time employee, as it negates the need for benefits, insurance, and office space. • Skill Expertise: Contractors typically have deep expertise in their area and bring a fresh, outside perspective that can be invaluable in solving complex legal issues. • Scalability: By utilizing contractors, legal departments can easily scale up and down as their requirements change, ensuring that resources are never wasted. • Project Focused: Contractors are often highly targeted on delivering specific outputs, this focus can lead to more accurate project completion timings. • Operational Efficiency: Temporarily bringing in a contractor frees up permanent staff to focus on strategic projects and objectives which ultimately improves operational efficiency. • Flexibility: Contractors can provide legal departments with flexibility to cover busy periods, leaves of absence, or when a specialized skill set is required. • Risk Mitigation: Employing contractors can mitigate risks associated with the on-boarding and off-boarding process, making it as seamless as possible. Let's remember, successful legal departments aren't just about having the most full-time attorneys, but about having the right expertise at the right time. Contractor utilization offers an effective way to bridge this gap! To discuss this further, feel free to send me a message or email!

Earlier this week, I shared how experienced day rate contractors can make valuable client-side confidants, ensuring projects deliver maximum value. While the benefits are clear, I think it’s important to acknowledge that challenges can arise. So, here are some of the challenges I’ve come across when providing such individuals … - It can be tricky to clearly define what the contractor should be doing without disrupting the consultancy. - Making sure the contractor, client team, and consultancy work well together ... takes effort and coordination. - Even though they add a lot of value, hiring a client-side confidant does mean extra costs that some businesses might worry about. - It’s crucial to keep the contractor independent and avoid conflicts of interest. Despite these challenges, the value added by client-side confidants often outweighs the hurdles. They bring independent expertise, protect for your interests, and ensure project success. Have you faced any of these challenges? How did you overcome them? #DayRateContractors #ClientConfidants #ContractorChallenges

Ever see a contract that says “Work for Hire” and think the job’s done? Here’s the reality: too many lawyers assume this language covers all intellectual property ownership issues. It doesn’t. “Work for hire” only applies in very specific situations and doesn’t cover every type of intellectual property your client may need to protect. That’s why it’s critical to include a comprehensive assignment clause.

Carla (in this video) works remote from the Dominican Republic as a "permanent contractor" for a company in New York. IRS rules that govern use of contractors only apply to USA citizens, not to people working remote from other countries. Although on paper she is a contractor without any employee overhead or legal risk, Carla has been with the company in New York the past 5 years fitting in same as a loyal, long term employee - yet for 50/75% less than if she were an employee in New York.

A signed document serves a guide for your service delivery, client's expectations, and employee duties. Essential documents needed by fully incorporated smes for business operations are: 1️⃣ Service Level Agreement (SLA) The SLA specifies the quality, availability, and performance of the services provided, as well as the responsibilities of both parties. It helps to set expectations and ensure that both parties understand their obligations, preventing misunderstandings and disputes. 2️⃣ Employment Contract It outlines the terms and conditions of employment between an employer and an employee. It covers aspects such as job description, salary, benefits, working hours, probation period, and termination clauses. 3️⃣ Non Disclosure Agreement (Confidentiality Agreement) An NDA helps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of valuable information and trade secrets. #growthmarketing #legal #bech360consulting
