Connect to your Industry

Today’s world requires a new approach to the delivery of legal services. Now more than ever, legal departments and law firms are having to address the challenge of dealing with increasing complexity and demand with the same or fewer resources whilst still maintaining the quality of legal services provided.

Deloitte Legal looks to help clients address this challenge by bringing a differentiated offering that encompasses not just traditional Legal advice, but also our Legal Management Consulting services that look at how our clients can better deliver legal services to their stakeholders.

The Deloitte Legal Management Consulting team works with legal departments and law firms to help them rethink their operating models from a process, people and technology perspective to achieve greater efficiencies and increase the value they deliver back to their stakeholders.

Deloitte Legal in the UK is also part of the global Deloitte Legal network, which has over 2,500 lawyers in more than 85 jurisdictions. This makes Deloitte Legal one of the largest legal businesses in the world with a global footprint that exceeds that of any traditional global law firm.

This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm).
