How Kerseys Can Help

The needs and expectations of business leaders have been going through a period of change and significantly so over the last decade.

+ Read More

As a result of this change, we have seen an elevated demand for legal counsel services due, in part, to increasing regulation (for instance, the Companies Act 2006, the Equality Act 2010 and the Bribery Act 2010). Further, where work is homogeneous or capable of being standardised or readily quantifiable within defined parameters, the expectation is that it should be priced accordingly and where possible on the basis of a fixed fee.

It is increasingly recognised by many organisations that taking advantage of legal counsel services can:

  • speed up the management decision making processes;
  • increase management options; and
  • manage legal and operational risk.

At Kerseys we work hard at understanding your business and the environment in which it operates and in doing so we can more readily assist in resisting your exposure to risk.

As part of a legal audit and review, we can assess your business risk and compliance and assist in achieving the most efficient legal strategy within your business forecasting in order to meet the longer term objectives.
