As a firm, we actively encourage closer relationships with our clients by offering individual lawyers on secondment. Secondments can range from short term arrangements over a couple of weeks or months to cover for holidays, sickness or maternity/paternity leave, to more longer term arrangements for specific projects. Secondments can also be full time or for a few days each week. Furthermore, we don't just second junior lawyers - we have seconded senior lawyers up to partner level.

Recent secondments have included:

In our experience, secondments benefit clients by helping us to gain a greater understanding of a client's business and its perspectives, and as a way of offering clients a legal resource over an extended period of time with the benefit of charging arrangements which incorporate a "bulk discount". Secondments benefit us by increasing the commercial awareness of our lawyers and strengthening our client relationships.
