Type of client: Inhouse legal support | Industry: Sport – soccer | Employees: 200-300.

Request: An A-League team required a lawyer to support their legal team whilst their general counsel was on maternity leave to provide assistance with general commercial, consumer law, information technology, privacy and sponsorship matters.

How we helped: We provided a lawyer for 9 months, 2 days per week flexibly across the week, with 2 half days in the office to support the other lawyer in the client’s legal department. Our lawyer was replaced by another lawyer while she was on annual leave creating a seamless experience for the client during a busy time finalising sponsorship deals before the beginning of the season.
