Of-Counsels
For experienced lawyers who value depth and integrity
Our Of-Counsel model is built for senior practitioners who want to associate with Metalegal while maintaining their independent practice. It is a flexible, dignified structure that allows experienced lawyers to work with us on complex matters, lend specialised expertise, and guide teams where their insight adds real value.
We welcome seasoned professionals who bring depth in litigation, taxation, corporate advisory, investigations, economic offences, regulatory strategy or other specialised domains. If you believe in thoughtful lawyering, careful preparation and ethical practice, you will find our approach aligned with your own.
OUR OF-COUNSEL PHILOSOPHY
RESPECT FOR EXPERIENCE
We value the judgment, maturity and perspective that senior lawyers bring. Of-Counsels are trusted advisors, not adjunct resources.
FLEXIBILITY WITH CLARITY
The engagement structure allows for independence in practice, while keeping communication, scope and expectations clearly defined.
MEANINGFUL COLLABORATION
Assignments are substantive—strategy discussions, drafting support, expert opinions, complex research, regulatory interpretation or courtroom guidance.
A CULTURE ALIGNED WITH PROFESSIONALISM
Integrity, discipline and respect for the profession guide every association. Of-Counsels who share these principles integrate seamlessly into our work.
COLLABORATION WITHOUT HIERARCHY
Teams consult Of-Counsels for their expertise, and both sides collaborate professionally. The relationship is based on mutual respect rather than formality.
