Business legal advisory

Ongoing legal advice on contracts, business decisions and legal risk management. We act as the company’s go-to legal adviser —the Outsourced General Counsel (OGC) model— with knowledge of the business, coordination of external advisers and early identification of risks before they become liabilities.

Approach

GlobalTax steps in to:

  • Bring scattered legal criteria into line
  • Align decisions with business strategy
  • Coordinate external firms and specialists
  • Identify legal, tax and regulatory risks
  • Provide continuity over time

Recepción

When it makes sense

When is this service key?

This service is especially valuable when:

  • The company is growing and decisions become more complex
  • There are operations in several jurisdictions
  • There are several advisors without central coordination
  • Greater control over legal risks is needed
  • A full-time in-house lawyer is not justified
  • Decisions with significant wealth impact are being made

If your situation calls for analysis, judgement and responsibility, we can assess it.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Contracts, corporate and commercial decisions, legal risk management and coordination of the company’s other advisers. It can be engaged matter by matter or on an ongoing basis, as an outsourced general counsel.

It is an external legal advisory service that fills the role of an organisation’s in-house lawyer without being part of its structure. It involves ongoing knowledge of the business, support on strategic decisions and coordination of external advisors.

The focus is not on answering one-off queries but on providing ongoing legal judgement. The OGC keeps a comprehensive view of the business, anticipates risks and ensures consistent legal decisions over time.

No. The OGC does not replace other professionals; it coordinates them. It acts as a central point of judgement, making sure that advice from different specialists is consistent and aligned with the overall strategy.

Not exactly. The OGC plays a similar role, but with more independence, flexibility and cross-cutting experience. It also avoids the costs and rigidity of a permanent in-house structure.

Growing companies, organisations with complex or international operations, and wealth structures that require constant legal follow-up and informed decision-making.

We set up an ongoing working arrangement, with availability for queries, involvement in key decisions and follow-up on critical matters. The scope is adjusted to the client’s needs.

Yes. The OGC service is flexible and is designed around the complexity of the business, the volume of operations and the level of support required.

When fragmented advice is no longer enough, decisions have a greater impact or an ongoing legal view is needed to avoid contingencies.
