Global Manufacturer Adds Interim Counsel for Contracts and Global Compliance

Global Manufacturer Adds Interim Counsel for Contracts and Global Compliance

PROBLEM

A global manufacturer of advanced materials needed additional legal bandwidth to support its busy in-house legal department. The assistant general counsel sought a seasoned supply chain procurement attorney to assist with overflow contracting work on a flexible, part-time basis with the option to scale up hours during peak periods.

Around the same time, the legal team was preparing for a global compliance initiative and identified a need for an interim ethics attorney to assist in reviewing and revising company policies across multiple jurisdictions—requiring both temporary support and specialized expertise.

SOLUTION

Latitude provided an experienced commercial contracts attorney with more than 20 years of in-house experience, including extensive work with procurement contracts. Initially engaged for four months, the company quickly recognized the strong fit and requested an additional contracts attorney with technology agreements experience to provide additional capacity. Both attorneys have continued to support the legal department on an ongoing interim basis for more than a year.

For the global compliance project, Latitude provided an attorney with deep subject-matter knowledge in corporate ethics and policy. The attorney joined the legal team for the six-month initiative, ensuring policies were reviewed and revised on schedule and helping the company meet its compliance goals.
