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!
