Large (legal) projects require attention from your legal department on top of the regular busy working schedule. At PwC Legal, we understand that it can be helpful to outsource these projects in order to have your legal staff focussed at their day-today job. Our legal project managers are lawyers who have experience in - amongst others - SCRUM, Prince2, Lean Six Sigma and other project management methodologies. They understand your challenges and are able to act like a seamless integration of your legal team on projects. At PwC Legal, we have extensive experience in managing a variety of legal projects, amongst others:

• large divestitures
• intercompany contracting projects
• preparing new policy frameworks
• corporate restructurings
• implementation of (legal) technology.

In the post-Covid way of working, we have learned the importance of a hybrid approach. With the help of PwC’s Managed Legal Services, we can take a look at the sourcing of your legal department to ensure the best fit for the future for your company. PwC’s tech-enabled approach and Legal Centers of Excellence always ensure a high quality and cost efficient way of working.

• Co-sourcing: you are in control of your own systems and remain the owner of processes. Part of the process/deliverables in certain legal workflows (for example: knowledge management, template building etc) will become the responsibility of PwC guaranteeing continuity in the legal department. 
• Outsourcing: you outsource (part of) the deliverables under the responsibility of the legal function (corporate compliance, data privacy, contract management etc) to PwC. We operate side by side as one team with clear joint governance and joint roles & responsibilities.
• Managed services for selected workstream: PwC becomes the in-house legal function for selected workstreams and delivers an end-to-end integrated solution. Through using one digital (global) platform accessible by a dedicated team of (global) legal professionals, we can deliver insights based on real-time data, ensure continuity and realise optimisation for the selected workstreams.
• Managed services for the entire managed function: PwC becomes the in-house legal function and delivers an end-to-end integrated solution. Through using one digital (global) platform accessible by a dedicated team of (global) legal professionals and best in class legal technology, we can deliver insights based on real-time client data, ensure continuity and realise optimisation within a legal function.

The contingent workforce is a permanent reality – increasingly, businesses depend on it to assign work in a smarter way. Whether you’re facing an abnormal temporary spike in workload or are in need of part-time team cover, our deep and broad on-demand talent pool is here to help you meet the changing demands of your business. Whether you have to cover a temporary shortfall in resources, need support with longer-term assignments, or require specific outside expertise (for instance to comply with new regulations), you select exactly the right people for you, with the skills and attitude to get your job done.

The solution is entirely flexible: you determine whether your specialists work from home or on your premises, individually or in teams, on a fixed-contract or indefinite basis. And most importantly of all, your chosen experts work to your instructions and answer directly to you.
