1. Commercial Contracts & Licensing
Who it's for: companies that regularly negotiate supply, manufacturing, distribution, or licensing agreements — especially in regulated industries like the pharmaceutical industry.
What's included: drafting and negotiation of distribution and licensing agreements (in/out), manufacturing (CMO) agreements, clinical development and CRO agreements, and review/optimization of contract templates.
Example: a pharmaceutical company expanding into a new market needs to negotiate its first exclusive distribution agreement, protecting its IP rights while complying with local regulations.
2. Fractional General Counsel / Legal Director
Who it's for: subsidiaries, scale-ups, or mid-sized companies that need senior legal leadership but don't (yet) justify a full-time in-house General Counsel or Legal Director.
What's included: ongoing legal oversight, management of in-house legal teams or external counsel, a single point of contact for the Executive Committee, and optimization of legal spend.
Example: the Spanish subsidiary of an international group needs someone to centralize and oversee all external legal advice, reducing costs and coordination risks.
3. M&A and Corporate Transactions
Who it's for: companies in the process of an acquisition, sale, joint venture, or corporate restructuring.
What's included: review and analysis, of legal due diligence, negotiation of purchase agreements, structuring of joint ventures, incorporation of foreign subsidiaries.
