CASE STUDIES
The Challenge
The US Headquarters of a Medical Device Co. had a hiring freeze in place. At the same time, the co. was undergoing numerous projects that pulled the small legal department, particularly the General Counsel in many directions. One project was an international merger. The General Counsel was already working double time, working with outside counsel would have strained the cash flow in too big of a way and no other lawyer had the transactional expertise.
The Solution
: Interim ESQ staffed an experienced transactional lawyer who had a particular expertise in mergers and acquisitions. This person had more experience than the General Counsel and direct reported to the General Counsel while working directly with the business unit.
The Results
The merger was successful. The General Counsel was complimented on the project lawyer who was brought on board as he was not only the expert the business needed but equally, his personality integrated seamlessly into their team. This person was able to foster team work and collaboration on all sides of the table, being a strong representative for the General Counsel and the Company.
The Challenge
An Asset Management Co. hired a new executive team including a new General Counsel. As part of their strategic plan to shift their business and increase cash on hand, they needed to sell their patent portfolio and their licenses and settle their active intellectual property litigation. The GC’s plate was full and not an expert in intellectual property. This company needed an Intellectual Property Lawyer with specific expertise to bring their IP to market, find a buyer and settle their active litigation.
The Solution
Interim ESQ staffed a seasoned intellectual property lawyer with both private practice and Fortune 100 Co. experience as an intellectual property lawyer. This lawyer had sold a patent portfolio for another company and had a background in intellectual property litigation.
The Results
Within 12 months, the company had sold its patent portfolio, its active intellectual property licenses and had settled all of its open litigation. The executive team was pleased and the General Counsel had an early “win” with their board.
The Challenge
A Defense Co. was faced with unexpected litigation encompassing a significant document review of approximately 2.5 million documents. If the Chief Legal Officer would have used their outside counsel to perform discovery and document review on this litigation it would have exceeded the internal legal spend by triple. This would have strained the company in detrimental ways.
The Solution
Interim ESQ provided a team of 6 experienced litigation lawyers, one taking the lead as a project manager who directly reported to the Chief Legal Officer. This group worked on-site full-time hours to perform discovery and document review. They easily could gather information and documents as needed, working directly with the business people.
The Results
The cost of staffing Interim ESQ project lawyers for 6 months was a 1/3 of the cost of outside counsel. The business was not interrupted, the costs and budgets were controlled and the overall project was successfully managed without straining internal people.
