A new business and legal consultancy, Leman Consulting launched today 29th September 2016 at the RDS Members club in Dublin 4. Purveyors of preventative law, Leman Consulting is about modern law for modern business. It is the first of its kind and the only legal consultancy in Ireland.
Prevention is better than cure. That is why Leman Consulting are re-defining how law is practiced in Ireland. It involves partnering with well run businesses, the civil service and in house counsel in preventing costly litigation, ensuring best practice and delivering good governance amongst other services.
Leman Consulting promises to assist businesses to build commercial resilience, enable business continuity and drive growth whilst also taking control of and reducing legal costs.
The consultants at Leman Consulting will improve business performance and enhance all of its component operations by improving corporate governance, regulatory compliance, commercial practices, internal policies, commercial relations and HR and employee relations. The consultancy will identify and assess risk and will monitor and report on risk control and mitigation through their legal audit service.
Additional Leman Consulting services include legal strategy, outsourcing, large scale legal project and contract management, legal training, digitisation, ’on demand’ lawyers for legal projects and IP audits. To date Ogier Leman has successfully assisted many blue chip organisations in digitising and moving towards a paperless office.
Speaking about Leman Consulting Larry Fenelon, Managing Partner said:
“Over the years Ogier Leman have been fortunate. We have advised many business leader clients about problems and often crises. This has given us valuable insights. We have seen how the best businesses operate well. And crucially how they can be improved. Leman Consulting was established so we could make those insights available to our clients.
Solicitors provide reactive legal services for businesses. Leman Consulting provides pro-active best legal practice for businesses. We all know that prevention is better than cure. We also know that good businesses have robust internal and external audit functions. Leman Consulting is here to re-shape how legal services are provided to businesses so that they can be pro-active about legal risk. Already well run businesses are receiving our offering very enthusiastically. We want to partner with best in class businesses which value minimising legal risk. They want to avoid large public fall outs with executive members, employees, suppliers, contractors and other key stakeholders.
We also found that many legal departments in companies need legal resources for short term but large scale projects without break the bank secondees or expensive hires. In house solicitors are spinning plates and are usually under resourced. They can barely cope with their workload and simply don’t have the capacity to look underneath the carpet for legal risks, that they are expected to know. We are filling the gap here in areas like contract management, IP audit, legal training and legal department strategy. Similarly we are aiding public and civil servants in transforming legal functions from paper heavy to paperless operations and delivering efficiencies by digitising how they do business. We find ourselves increasingly project managing large scale projects to deliver these on time and on budget. This is not a skillset that most lawyers have. That’s why our headcount on the consultancy side is increasingly non legal. We are avant garde in law. We are associated with the future of law, legal futurists and legal technology. Its time for a shake up in how law is practised. 99% of businesses will agree with that. We are excited about our new consultancy offering and truly believe this is the future of law. Our service is all about modern law for modern business”
