Why choose Argumentum?Assembling and managing a full time in-house legal team with a wide array of knowledge and capabilities across various areas of the law is expensive, inflexible and complicated.Many organisations have had dreadful experiences finding the right corporate counsel. The experience and qualities are scoped to find the ultimate super being with an unrealistic array of expertise and experience required to work at the pace of business in the business.This, combined with a general lack of efficient backup support from a team of legal professionals to supplement the in-house lawyers constraints and capable paraprofessionals and trained administrative staff to delegate appropriate tasks to, is often a recipe for severe misalignment with the needs of the organisation.At the same time merely using external lawyers that work with hundreds even thousands of files beyond their capacity, pressure from the traditional partnership model to emphasise billing above the delivery of value, use archaic project management and problem solving methods, inflexible billing structures and a general incentive to work longer and bill more hours, is also a recipe for misalignment with the organisation's needs.Moreover, the use of an external lawyers instead of an in-house lawyer often unnecessarily has an adversarial overtone in situations where a more measured approach is required to manage certain delicate situations and relationships.Attorneys and advocates are also prohibited from practicing together under one roof if the entity is incorporated as a law firm, which also often results in expensive and inefficient information handovers and ineffective divisions of labour to the detriment of the client.The rise of a litigation avoidance culture amongst businesses, the preferences for alternative dispute resolution avenues, court rolls being backed up for years, difficulty in assessing the chances of success, bad judgements and clients getting smarter at doing ROI calculations when evaluating litigation as a solution, are all reasons why the "let's litigate" approach is becoming less attractive for clients.Furthermore litigation is more often than not, one of a wide array of options to solve a problem, and needs to fit into an holistically considered, aligned and project managed problem solving plan.The ultimate effect of having not having a flexible well trained and dynamic in-house legal team on demand, and that of being wary to engage external lawyers operating within the constraints of a law firm, is that the boards of directors, executives and other high ranking decision makers within organisations are regularly left with great degrees of uncertainty regarding their options, risks and executional strategy during important, complex and unique decisions, transactions, disputes and situations. This uncertainty is a stumbling block to building great organisations.It is for these reasons that Argumentum have established the Corporate legal counsel on demand service to provide the boards of directors, executives and high ranking decision makers within organisations, a flexible way to navigate through these mazes of important , complex and unique problems, with confidence and without having to permanently host an entire in-house legal team (supported by paraprofessionals and admin staff), or have to unnecessarily appoint external lawyers operating within the constraints of a law firm.Our mission is simple: Enabling people to build great organisations by efficiently and effectively reducing and removing their legal uncertainty.Our approach to fixed fee and project based billing, problem solving, project management, and our focus on providing practical legal advice and services, as if we were advising and serving our own company, make us an ideal choice as a legal services partner.
