Why should you use Law Squared as a Service?

Our Law Squared as a Service (LSaaS) model is a new way of working and varies from the traditional option hiring an in-house legal counsel. While hiring to fill an internal position provides your business with a dedicated full-time resource, it limits the skillset available to you, which often requires you to outsource to law firms when matters fall outside of your employee’s area of practice or where overflow support is required, further adding to the cost of an internal hire. The following table outlines the costs associated with hiring for a position within your business:

The table above doesn’t take into consideration the cost of legal work which must be outsourced where your in-house counsel does not have capacity, or it simply falls beyond their area of expertise.

Our service offering is designed to be a cost-effective alternative to the traditional solution of hiring an in-house counsel while providing access to subject matter experts, a quick onboarding process, and smooth integration of an outsourced legal function to manage business-as-usual legal issues for all internal business functions. With monthly retainers starting at $8,500, you will have access to all four of our legal teams rather than a single resource.

Who uses our Outsourced In-House Counsel model?

Creating a lasting legal relationship with the Paperform team

As a growing SaaS company, Paperform was on the hunt for a law firm that would have their back and was affordable for what they wanted. They wanted to build a relationship that was more than just a transactional relationship and they didn’t want to have tunnel-visioned approach to law.

Given the sudden uptake in their product, Dean and Diony had a number of legal challenges and projects that they needed done. While they went back and forth with a few different firms, they really wanted to engage a firm who was willing to understand their product and business, to not only address existing legal challenges and projects, but also to provide insights into liabilities and opportunities.
