LLN is a network of high calibre commercial lawyers whose skills are outsourced to corporates on a short-term basis. We’ve all been there. More often than we’d like. Those times when the team is stretched or when the resources needed to deal with the transaction at hand are simply not available.

In operation since 2001, The Legal Locum Network or LLN provides a solution. The network connects attorneys and legal advisors with high calibre professionals who have the necessary experience and are available to hit the ground running and fill a gap. The locum almost seamlessly steps in when there is a need for an extra resource such as when maternity leave, illness, or resignations occur or simply when professional teams are under pressure and resources are stretched and in need of bolstering.

The locums are high calibre professionals who can be made available to you on an ad hoc, flexible basis and on short notice needing little, if any, supervision. Our network consists of generalists and specialists in many aspects of commercial and corporate law and in a variety of specialised sectors. Examples of assignments which they have undertaken since 2001 have involved :

• Procurement, supply chain, logistics
• IT and digital, competiton law, marketing and advertising law
• Property, finance-related contracts, construction, mining
• SLA’s & administrative law

Other assignments have involved research and writing of opinions, company secretarial and corporate governance matters, overseeing of commercial litigious matters, compiling of precedents, developing document administration systems, and due diligences.
