Our own tenth anniversary has given us pause to reflect on the huge distance travelled by so-called ‘new law’ offerings in the last decade.

From our position, we’ve been able to track the changing needs of legal teams by how they use contract lawyers.

At the beginning, it was all about plugging a gap in a team; someone would be on holiday or on a period of extended sick leave, or there would be a particularly time-intensive project on the horizon which required more people power. Those teams would draft in a contract lawyer to help support them and pick up the slack, but it was often just an ad hoc requirement.
