Our approach to working with in-house legal teams
We provide the full spectrum of support to in-house lawyers including employment, commercial, IP, technology, data protection, dispute resolution, property, corporate and regulatory advice. We are often seen as an extension to the in-house team, providing insightful, understanding and effective support to in-house lawyers informed by the full breadth of our experience and our understanding of the varied sectors in which we work.
Many of our lawyers have worked in-house or have spent their careers working with in-house lawyers. We work with general counsel and in-house teams across a wide range of sectors spanning banks and financial services firms and private businesses (including family businesses, publishers and retailers) through to charities and cultural organisations, sports governing bodies and schools and universities.
The Farrers team are extremely supportive of in-house teams. For instance, their programme of live webinars and knowledge updates to assist in-house legal teams is excellent.
