External Counsel & Legal Retainership
JuristechLegal & Partners provides structured external counsel and legal retainership services to corporates, growth-stage businesses, regulated entities and foreign companies. This practice is built for organisations that require consistent, senior-level legal support without maintaining a permanent in-house legal department. We act as an external legal partner to management, boards and decision-makers, advising on contracts, compliance, regulatory exposure, commercial risk and strategic legal issues. Engagements are professional, confidential and long-term in nature, focused on continuity, accountability and business-aligned legal advice. This service is offered strictly as an external law firm engagement and is not an employment, staffing or deputation arrangement.
