PINSENT MASONS VARIO FLEXIBLE SERVICES

Providing businesses with cost-effective legal expertise on a flexible basis.

The talent market, time, resource, budget – these can all hinder in-house legal teams, be it generally or when unforeseen work levels arise. Busy legal departments need to react quickly in order to remain competitive and maintain smooth business operations. Traditional hiring of legal staff doesn't always allow for the required flexibility to meet these demands. During peak periods, inhouse legal teams need reliable, flexible cost-effective support who are able to deliver results as soon as possible. In other periods, additional support may not be required and budgets may need to be tightly managed, during these times it's important to maintain a lean headcount to control costs.

By partnering with Pinsent Masons Vario, you gain access to a robust pipeline of flexible paralegal talent who can supplement your legal team (for days, weeks or months depending on your need), freeing up much needed senior resource or helping tame peak workloads.

Our Paralegal Bench

We have over 200 paralegals in our hub that are enthusiastic to join assignments, add value and gain experience. The depth of our talent pool varies from highly qualified graduates, future trainee solicitors (of Pinsent Masons or other top UK firms) and career paralegals - with unrivalled understanding of how best to support teams on the path to success.

Recent examples include a large pharmaceutical business using Vario Paralegal Support to assist with Litigation deadlines, the legal team of a global Tech business being supplemented by our junior talent pool and client teams consisting of more senior lawyers using Vario to resource large-scale document reviews and other distinct projects.

Vario can support on a variety of needs with options that suit your budget, with an extensive talent bank of resources onboarded, we’re also able to deploy great paralegals at speed.

A Vario Flexible Services Paralegal could support you with:

Contract Management
Due Diligence
Document Review
Subject access requests
Litigation preparation such as bundles etc.
General commercial support

Flexibility from Day One

Complex projects can bring lots of uncertainty and unforeseen circumstances. Utilising Vario flexible consultants allows our clients to quickly upscale or scale back resource as and when they need them, helping with greater control on costs and legal support.

The right person at for the right project

The professionals in our bench are all of a high calibre but what's equally important is that they are all acclimated to working as a flexible legal consultant, able to quickly adapt to the needs of the project at hand to provide immediate results for our clients. To ensure best fit for both client organisation and consultant, we use a team of business psychologists to assess personal behaviours.

The breadth of our global bench allows us to arrange resource wherever you need it. Our consultants can work across jurisdictions alongside your legal teams, fully remotely or in a hybrid model. For larger projects, we are also able to deploy multiple contractors and co-ordinate them to suit your exact requirements. We remove the stress of recruitment, guaranteeing a top-quality legal professional who will impact your business from day one.
