Kennedy Cater Legal offers a range of services
to manage your legal needs.
We provide strategic and practical advice enabling our clients to make informed decisions about their legal procurement strategy which helps them to achieve significant cost-savings without ever compromising on the quality of the advice they receive.
We have established a wide-ranging panel of leading lawyers in all areas of the law with whom we have agreed preferential rates for the benefit of our clients.
Whether your issue relates to complex corporate tax restructuring across diverse operations or a simple employment dispute, we have an expert solution to help.
For those companies without the benefit of their own in-house lawyer we provide practical advice and support to management, helping to deliver commercial and cost effective solutions and introducing them to expert lawyers from our panel.
Our clients receive the benefit of:
- Expert commercial advice
- Lower rates
- Fee negotiation
- Schedule of work for large projects
- Project management of their issue
1. The Matching Service
Matching our clients’ commercial objectives with expert lawyers is at the heart of what we do. Instructing the right lawyer is often a crucial component of ensuring a positive outcome and yet many organisations still operate within the confines of a single law firm.
More Information2. The Managed Service
Where the client requires more support and advice we work with them to ensure that the legal advice obtained is at all times commercial, timely, client focused and cost effective.
More Information3. Straight to the Bar
Going directly to a barrister can often be the most cost effective and efficient way to obtain expert advice. Where appropriate, we help our clients to instruct the right barrister, thereby enabling them to strip out unnecessary solicitors’ costs.
More Information4. Legal Procurement Reviews
The overall effectiveness of legal advice is not just about the quality of the lawyers being used, it is also about understanding and efficiently managing the internal controls and processes which create the demand for legal advice. We help organisations and in-house lawyers to optimise these relationships and reduce their overall legal spend as a result.
More Information5. Panel Set Up and Review
Establishing a panel of law firms or barristers’ chambers can be a lengthy process and with no guarantee that legal cost will be reduced. We help organisations to review existing relationships or put in place new arrangements which deliver ongoing cost and service level improvements.
More Information6. Public Sector Consultancy
Public sector organisations are under constant pressure to improve and demonstrate efficiency. The provision of legal services is an area where efficiency savings are clearly achievable. We work with a number of such organisations assisting them to drive down external costs through a variety of approaches including setting up panels of advisers, actively managing those panels to ensure maximum cost benefits and exploring opportunities for further savings through adopting shared services.
More Information7. Seminars & Workshops
Our seminars and workshops help our clients to build and retain the legal knowledge and awareness that helps them sustain their organisation's commercial, ethical and professional standards.
More Information8. In-house Placements
Why pay external fees when you could bring an expert lawyer in-house on a temporary assignment at a fraction of the equivalent external hourly rate.
We can arrange this for you.
