The firms that lead the next decade will not just know their subject. They will turn legal expertise into practical value for their clients.
Whether you’re in a law firm or an in-house legal team, the challenge is often the same: more expected of you than there’s time, headcount or budget to deliver. And that can be even more difficult when you’re navigating technology, data and AI work where the business and technical landscape is moving faster than most teams can keep pace with.
Concatena works alongside legal teams as specialist support: supervising junior talent, taking on overflow advisory work, building practice infrastructure, or training your team on the law and skills that matter. Not a replacement for your team — an extension of it, for exactly as long as you need it.
25 years of senior commercial law practice. Fixed fees, agreed before the work starts. A conversation first.
We’re not about telling your lawyers things they already know, or that they can’t put into practice.
We give them the structure and the space to turn what they know into something they can use, on transactions that actually matter.
And we can help you leverage the skills and the knowledge you already have whilst keeping your lawyers AND business on-side.
legal advice
Augment your team with capacity or expertise — whichever you need most. Commercial contracts, data protection, technology law and AI obligations: reviewed, drafted, negotiated or advised on, depending on what makes sense to keep in-house. Or expert partner-level input on a consultancy basis — supervising junior talent, or just a “phone a friend” to check you’re on the right track. Behind the scenes, helping you stay ahead.
Practice support
A boost to your team’s effectiveness without the overhead of a permanent hire — and with the benefit of a broader industry perspective. Precedents, knowledge strategy, data governance and AI: the Professional Support Lawyer function, available to law firms and in-house teams alike. Let us help you see the wood from the trees.
training
Well-structured, accessible and (dare I say it) fun training — for your team, or to impress your clients. Practical sessions on the law and skills that matter, with just enough black-letter law to satisfy the intellectually curious. And if your business colleagues need a primer on the legal issues that affect them, we can train them too.
coaching
Career and development coaching to help your lawyers and teams achieve their best — including co-coaching for line managers and direct reports, to improve communication, supervision and team morale. Short bursts or longer-term, based on what your people need.
