Today’s in-house legal teams are under more pressure than ever. You’re expected to do more with less—managing increasing workloads, reducing spend, and delivering strategic value to your business.

At Shoosmiths, we understand that no two legal teams are the same. That’s why our Resource Solutions are built around you—flexible, scalable, and tailored to your needs. Whether you’re looking to plug a short-term gap, scale up for a project, or rethink your resourcing model entirely, we’ll co-create a solution that delivers the right support, at the right time, and at the right cost.
