OUR APPROACH

The Lex Connect Advantage

No transactional engagement like law firms; takeover legal operations; lock, stock, and barrel & we believe to act as employees of the business, not external advisors.

A unique mix of in-house attorneys of Fortune 500 and start-up entities ensures an uniform experience with designated POCs but with the capacity & varied-expertise benefits of a multi-member team.

A team of SMEs in different practice areas offer deep expertise across the gamut without any price escalation.

Bulk retainer rates and healthy tolerance bands to tide over busy periods.

The team structure enables continuous support during absence (planned or not) of any individual member.
