The core model

Your external legal department.
Dedicated people instead of one-off cases.

You don't need a lawyer for the next case; you need someone who knows your company and thinks along with you on an ongoing basis. That's exactly what we provide — with dedicated contact persons, predictable costs, and short lines of communication.

The team at Clience.Legal
Who it's for

Does the model suit you?

Four situations in which companies come to us. If you find yourself in one of these, a conversation with us is worth it.

Legal issues end up in the hands of the management

Contracts, T&Cs, data protection, HR issues — everything falls on you because no one else is responsible.

Having your own legal department is not worth it

Fixed costs for salary, training and absence cover, but the workload fluctuates and one person never covers all areas.

You react instead of planning ahead

The lawyer only comes into play once the dispute has already arisen. That costs more than prevention.

You are growing, your structures are not

New partners, new products, new markets — and the contracts date back to the founding period.

Services

What we handle

The tasks of an internal legal department, without having to hire staff.

Ongoing contract work

Review, negotiation and maintenance of your contracts, terms and conditions and standard documents — before they are signed.

One point of contact for all departments

Management and individual departments contact us directly. Short lines of communication, digital processing, at your pace.

Recognize risks early

Regular meetings to structurally address recurring issues instead of having to start over every time.

Clarifying responsibilities

Who decides, who documents, who is liable — set out in writing rather than by word of mouth.

Input on key decisions

Equity stakes, succession, expansion, major contracts: we are involved before the course is set.

Predictable costs

Fixed hour allowances instead of surprise bills. You pay for what you use — not for us being on standby.

Result

What you get from it

Relief

Legal issues come off the managing director’s desk. You decide; we prepare.

Fewer conflicts

If you look regularly, you spot problems before they escalate. That is the real value of the model.

A team, not a lone wolf

Multiple specializations instead of one person with a single focus — and cover when someone is unavailable.

Process

This is how the collaboration begins

Four steps, no surprises. The first one is free.

Process

01

Introduction

15 to 20 minutes, free of charge. Does the model suit your company?

02

Review

Which legal issues are regularly raised, where are bottlenecks emerging, and what documents already exist?

03

Priorities

A shared order of priorities: what comes first, what can wait, what is non-critical. This determines the hour allowance.

04

Ongoing support

Fixed contacts, predictable costs, short lines of communication. Regular check-ins instead of firefighting.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the external legal department

A law firm permanently takes on the tasks of an in-house legal department: ongoing advice, contract review, guidelines, training, and a point of contact — accessed as needed rather than through a permanent position.

Especially for medium-sized and growing companies that regularly have legal needs but do not want to set up their own legal department.

The response time is geared to your pace. Collaboration is paperless and location-independent, so requests are handled without postal delays or chains of appointments.

You pay 350 € net per 60 minutes. With advance booking, there is a 15% discount for bookings of 25 hours or more, 25% for bookings of 51 hours or more, and 30% for bookings of 100 hours or more. Startups up to three years after incorporation receive a 25% discount on all services.

Yes. On request, we bill clearly defined projects via fixed-price service packages, for example for company formation, e-commerce, IT contracts or data protection.
