Drawing on his experience as a business lawyer and former Chief Legal Officer, Daniel Dufag offers his clients "legal on demand" services to set up, structure or supervise their legal department, or to compensate for the temporary unavailability of their in-house resources.
At each stage of its growth, every company is faced with new constraints and challenges, such as the need or opportunity to set up a legal department.
The apparent lack of volume in legal issues and budgetary considerations can lead to the postponement of the creation of an in-house legal department, whereas a proactive approach would have proved much better to secure the company's activities and development.
Integrating key legal aspects of a company's business into its operations can also be a viable strategy when entering new markets or facing increased competition. This could ultimately lead to the creation of a dedicated legal function.
To help clients meet these challenges, the firm assists them in defining their needs and then establishing an appropriate framework for intervention.
The aim is to provide holistic solutions that address both the structuring and the risk-bearing aspects.
Our comprehensive services include all aspects of corporate and commercial law, as well as the identification and implementation of digital solutions to manage the legal function.
This enables companies to oversee legal operations in a secure environment and provide clients with a dependable organization that can be transitioned to a dedicated in-house team in the future.
The necessity to organize and optimize a legal department can emerge in various circumstances. However, these issues frequently emerge during periods of accelerated growth, when the priority is on cultivating and fortifying customer relationships rather than on establishing the operational framework of support functions, such as the legal department.
Drawing on several years of research in the areas of process, contract lifecycles and risk management, our firm works with senior management, general management, legal departments, and administrative and financial departments to strategically address the present and define the role and scope of in-house legal resources.
We help determine resource allocation and design processes to ensure that all business transactions are valid and enforceable according to their terms.
Daniel Dufag's extensive experience in setting up and supervising in-house legal functions in companies of all sizes, as well as his expertise in handling complex cases and the digitalization
of legal activities, positions the firm as a trusted partner for the supervision of legal functions. This involvement can be at a national, European or international level and can last until the incumbent returns to work or a new incumbent is recruited.
These high value-added assignments are the preferred alternative in all situations where the use of legal services is not linked to the handling of a specific matter, but is intended to provide a strategic, operational and long-term response aimed at improving the efficiency of the legal function.
In 2023, the firm carried out several interim management assignments, in particular to support external growth projects for a major player in Industry 4.0 and digital marketing.
The firm also provided legal and contractual support over an extended period of time in the SaaS computing sector for a prominent cloud platform provider.
