Aélita JacobLawyer · Paris
Outsourced Legal Department

An experienced General Counsel, on your terms.

Access high-level legal support without immediately hiring an in-house counsel or General Counsel. I also act as interim support during a hiring process, ensuring continuity of your legal function until your new hire is on board.

For whom?

SMEs, mid-caps, groups & operational departments.

Not every executive needs a full-time General Counsel. But every executive needs strategic legal counsel at the right moment.

Areas of intervention

I typically work on the following topics:

  • Customer, supplier and partner contracts to negotiate or secure
  • General Terms (GTC, GTS, GTU) to draft or update
  • RFPs and supplier consultations, particularly on insurance
  • Claims management with insurers and experts
  • Unpaid receivables, pre-litigation and amicable settlements
  • Commercial leases to negotiate, renew or assign
  • Trademarks, domain names and other intangible asset protection
  • Company incorporation, restructurings and external growth
  • Securing strategic projects and coaching operational teams
What I bring
  • A single legal point of contact for all your needs
  • Regular presence, on your terms, on-site or remote
  • Coordination of your outside counsel (specialist attorneys, IP counsel, notaries, bailiffs)
  • Securing your contracts and strategic transactions
  • Structuring or optimizing your legal function
  • Awareness and coaching of your operational teams

A flexible, responsive and immediately operational solution. You access experienced legal expertise able to support your company day-to-day and on strategic decisions, without the constraints of a full-time hire.
