A global financial services firm experienced a steady increase in commercial contracts as it expanded its operations and vendor relationships. This rising demand across procurement, technology, and services agreements reduced the lean legal team’s capacity to address other legal and strategic priorities.
To keep pace without overextending its internal team, the firm sought flexible commercial and corporate counsel with experience in financial services and technology contracts.
SOLUTION
The firm initially engaged one Latitude attorney on a part-time basis to support vendor and procurement agreements. As demand increased, they expanded to include two additional attorneys from Latitude. This scalable team gives the firm the capacity to meet its evolving commercial contracting and broader corporate legal needs. They handle a high volume of commercial contracts, including drafting, negotiation, and contract operations. Their backgrounds include experience with major financial institutions and technology and data-related agreements involving SaaS, cloud services, cybersecurity, and AI.
With this additional capacity, the firm can meet increasing contracting demands and maintain timely turnaround while allowing its internal legal team to focus on other critical legal work and strategic priorities.
As the firm’s needs have evolved, its team of Latitude attorneys has evolved alongside them. Building on the commercial contracts team’s success, the firm has engaged experienced attorneys to support a broader range of needs across privacy and cybersecurity, employment, and corporate legal matters.
