Below is another example of Monty Edge’s premium temporary resource offering:
Scenario
Montgomery Edge solution
Montgomery Edge sourced and placed a senior-level finance lawyer, who was a freelance contractor, that had previously worked as a partner earlier in their career but was seeking a flexible, part-time arrangement.
This candidate had a varied industry focus and was able to immediately provide strong legal support to the business, from assisting on a number of lender and borrower-based property finance transactions, providing advice to the firm’s clients, maintaining regular communication between the parties, and involving the wider team throughout the process. The lawyer was hired on an ongoing basis, working in a hybrid manner, with a mix of in-office and remote working arrangements, which allowed them time to establish and develop key relationships in the team, within the firm, and with the external clients. They were paid a daily rate for their work for the duration of the contract.
Outcome
Following the six-month period working with our client, the partner was able to return well-rested from their leave to their practice having been managed well, and in fact, to an increased revenue stream from clients, given the minimal disruption, impact to the practice, and the firm, during the partner’s time away.
Given the firm was able to adapt its resourcing strategy to meet the needs of its existing employees, the partner, and the client, this led to a big win for everyone involved. Oh, and after all of this, they are still searching for that permanent hire.
Moral of the story?
Contract lawyers, if you are considering a flexible option, there are some great opportunities available via contract roles in law firms…
Law partners, if you are seeking a temporary or project-based lawyer, to cover your extended leave, or to cover unexpected spikes in work where you need immediate assistance….
