Why a Lawyer-Led ALSP is the Strategic Partner You Need.

As legal demands grow more complex, businesses are rethinking how they access legal support. The pressure to scale quickly, manage costs, and tap into specialised expertise has made Alternative Legal Service Providers (ALSPs) a core part of modern legal strategy – not just a backup option.

While there are many options out there when it comes to ALSPs, being lawyer-led is a core value for us at KorumLegal. We’ve listened and heard – there’s a reluctant fatigue setting in with some of the more established ALSP players. We’re here to share some of our valuable insights on this to ensure you get the most out of the services you seek.

Beyond the Transactional Model

At a base level, traditional ALSPs often focus on relieving day-to-day workload, helping in-house teams stay afloat. But this model tends to be reactive and transactional - filling gaps rather than driving efficiency or strategic value.

A lawyer-led ALSP like KorumLegal changes that dynamic. With leadership grounded in real legal experience - from law firms to in-house counsel – we’ve walked a mile in our clients’ shoes and understand the nuances of legal operations and the expectations of corporate legal teams. We’re not just service vendors; we’re strategic collaborators that function as an extension of your team.

What to Look for in an ALSP Partner

Legal support shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. The right ALSP should be able to align with your business goals, offer deep regional expertise, and scale with your needs. But alignment goes beyond capabilities - it’s about building trust, defining success together, and maintaining open communication.

KorumLegal’s approach is rooted in this philosophy. We don’t operate as your lawyer ‘factory body shop’ – we go above and beyond to build a meaningful partnership, focusing on providing tailored, adaptable solutions informed by our own legal experience, helping you navigate challenges with clarity and confidence. 

Strategic Support, On Demand

A lawyer-led ALSP brings more than just extra hands. It offers strategic thinking, flexible resourcing, and goal-oriented solutions. Whether you need project-based support, interim counsel, or niche expertise, the right ALSP can deliver results efficiently - without compromising quality.

At KorumLegal, our consultants and fractional general counsels work as an extension of your team. We prioritise long-term relationships over quick fixes, ensuring that support is both timely and meaningful.
