Collaborating with our clients on a project or filling a gap in a team are just some of the reasons that can lead to secondments.

A mutually beneficial process, secondments encourage the alignment of working practices and increase our knowledge and understanding of our clients’ businesses and ambitions.

Our secondments are not always delivered in the traditional sense, with a dedicated lawyer or lawyers working at our client’s premises. They can be ‘virtual’ with a dedicated resource based at Brodies managed by the client.

Paul Funnell, Transactions Team Leader at Scottish Enterprise, provides an overview of the value that secondees can add to your business.

We also offer ‘reverse’ secondments where a client can send a member of their in-house legal team to gain a fresh perspective or specialist expertise working alongside our lawyers.

Secondments are bespoke to each client. By listening to our clients and taking the time to immerse ourselves in the sectors in which we operate, we understand the market context that is vital to the delivery of legal solutions that respond to our clients’ needs.

If you are interested in finding out more about secondments, please get in touch with your usual Brodies contact. If you are a new client, please contact Lesley McDougall or Kirstie Maclennan
