Our flexible legal services

Yes, Obelisk Support is an alternative legal service provider (ALSP). ALSPs are companies that provide legal services to businesses and law firms. They typically offer a range of services, such as secondment covers, legal consultants, paralegal support, contract review, document review and legal project support. Obelisk Support was founded in 2010by Dana Denis-Smith. The company has a legal consultant pool of thousands of talented, lawyers and paralegals. Many of our lawyers are City-trained with in-house experience. Our legal consultants, freelance lawyers and paralegals work in-house, in private practice and to support growing businesses. Our freelance lawyers, paralegals, legal consultants and in-house paralegals work remotely or in hybrid arrangements with some days working from home, others from your offices. They are available to work part-time or full-time for set periods of time, and can work flexibly - by the hour or by the day or on a set project. We tailor the support you need to your business and budget. Our clients include some of the world's largest companies, including 35% of the FTSE100 as well as many growing businesses and several law firms. ALSPs are becoming increasingly popular as organisations look for new ways to meet regulatory changes, increasing reporting and governance requirements and more stakeholder and shareholder scrutiny in an affordable way that safeguards their organisation from reputational risk. ALSPs offer a number of advantages over traditional law firms, including: Value: ALSPs are typically more cost-effective than traditional law firms. This is because they do not have the same overhead costs, such as office space Flexibility: ALSPs offer a more flexible working model than traditional law firms. This is because they typically have a team of lawyers and paralegals who work remotely or in hybrid work arrangements who work part-time, full time for a set period, by the hour, by the day or to complete a discrete project in a given time-frame. This flexibility can be beneficial for businesses that need legal services on an ad hoc basis. Expertise: ALSPs can offer a high level of expertise in specific areas of law such as data protection and privacy matters, IP (intellectual property), compliance and governance; experience and best practice in a specific sector such as construction, insurance, banking and finance, media and telecomms or generalist expertise across corporate and commercial matters including company reporting; contract drafting, review and negotiation; completing NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) and MSAs (Master Service Agreements) and Company Secretarial tasks. If you require flexibility, speed and value - you should consider an ALSP.

Only lawyers and paralegals who have experience from both a top law firm and working in-house are eligible to join our community, meaning your services are delivered by people with the commercial savvy to deliver quality work at pace.
