Sainty Law offers an innovative General Counsel Service – experienced lawyers placed with clients for a fixed price.

Anthony Poole manages our General Counsel Service. Anthony has extensive experience as an in-house lawyer, liaising with key management executives, managing in-house teams and solving legal problems with a keen appreciation for the commercial imperatives of the business.

Features of our service

Experienced lawyers
Often clients don't want to employ a lawyer but they need ongoing legal services from someone with the knowledge, accessibility and continuity of a staff member. Others may need to add to an existing legal team for a project or to cover a team member on leave.

Flexible access
An experienced lawyer acts as your General Counsel for a day per week, fortnight or month or for the life of a project, as you choose.

At your office
They are based at your office but available by email and phone at other times – your virtual general counsel.

All your legal work, plus...
Your General Counsel handles the whole range of commercial legal needs. If your legal work needs specialist input, after consulting with you, your General Counsel can brief the matter to the best lawyer for the job (not necessarily with our firm), and continue to manage it as part of their duties.

Fixed monthly legal fees
Clients want certainty on their legal spend. Together we agree a fixed fee formula for your General Counsel services.
