A GC’s Guide to Rightsourcing: 3 Ways to Make the Business Case For FTE vs. Flex Talent vs. Outside Counsel

Legal departments are feeling the pressure. When urgency and uncertainty converge, rightsourcing the resources at your disposal are how General Counsel are advancing business goals, managing risks, and advancing priorities.

In this playbook, we share 3 examples of how GCs are optimizing the value of their resources – how to optimize your in-house team, what is best handled by outside counsel, and how to lean on your flexible talent partner to get the most out of both.

The upside includes avoiding team burnout and notable savings on recruitment and retention expenses.

Also included is a tactical decision tree titled “Full-Time Hire, Outside Counsel, Or Flexible Talent?” to immediately bring rightsourced thinking to your legal team.

Rightsourcing is “not about always going for the lowest cost option. Instead, it’s about making the decision that will maximize the value your department can deliver,” says Paragon Legal President & COO Jessica Markowitz.

The rise of flexible in-house counsel is game changing for how much your legal team can accomplish.  Read on to learn how.
