Legally qualified LSO advisers in the Exigent legal team have significant experience working in partnership with general counsels, department heads
and fee earners to map legal processes which accurately reflect companies’ existing and proven working practices. This consultative approach has
proved extremely successful, enabling law firms to retain their brand identity (which differentiates them from their peers), and company legal teams
to retain the support of commercial colleagues, whilst exploring the possibilities of LSO.
Exigent distinguishes itself from the broader LSO market by offering entirely bespoke solutions
for legal sector clients.
