Contract Lawyers FAQs

Why do I need extra support in my organisation?

Your business is growing, which is great news. However, alongside new revenues and opportunities come extra compliance and legal responsibilities. Whether you’re an in-house lawyer on your own who needs more support or you don’t yet have in-house legal resource, Obelisk Support can deliver flexible legal services that help you take your business to the next level.

Do Obelisk Support legal consultants only work from home?

No! Whilst many of our lawyers work from home, our lawyers also work in your offices - typically in a hybrid working model.

How do flexible Contract Lawyers work?

A lot of contract review work is project-base and so flexible support is the ideal way to manage both the cost of a review and the ability to scale up and down the review team in order to meet internal deadlines.

Can I contact you about one-off projects and small pieces of contract documentation work?

Absolutely. We understand that sometimes you have an urgent need for a specific piece of legal work to be delivered and we have the flexibility to turn that around as well as to provide on-going services or connect you with a consultant for a longer-term assignment.

Do you support a business contract review?

Yes. Our specially selected freelance lawyers can be up and running and might be quicker, more efficient and more cost effective than hiring, or recruitment firms.
