Get the flexible legal resource you need in time, on budget, and to the highest standards of quality

When in-house counsel are under resource pressure, sourcing quality, flexible support quickly is vital. With law firms increasingly reluctant to second out Associates, and traditional ALS firms struggling to provide clients with the expertise they need quickly and at reasonable cost, sourcing has never been more challenging.

With a carefully curated network developed over decades, we’re well positioned to access a vast scope of talent, quickly and cost efficiently. Our vetting process is rigorous, meaning due diligence is fast and accurate. Our teams are experts in delivering top legal talent inside short timeframes and for specific project schedules.

Case Study

US INVESTMENT BANK
case study

An investment bank with a household name in the US required a variety of legal experience of a flexible basis to meet varying demand, project work, and staff leave coverage. Panel firms were unable to meet all of this demand through secondees, internal procurement processes prevented them from using recruitment agencies, and the traditional ALS providers had struggled to source consultant lawyers with the requisite expertise.

Fortunato sourced 10 consultants over 6 months, from highly experienced lawyers with expertise in niche global markets products, to transaction management paralegals. We made significant savings compared to law firm tied ALS offerings, and the feedback on the quality of support has been fantastic.
