At 11th Summit Legal, we may work with a team of external lawyers, consultants, and professionals to assist with legal matters that require specialised expertise or to handle an unusually large workload. Here is a general overview of how we work with such a team:

1. Assessing the need for external support: When our law firm receives a case or project that requires specialised expertise, the firm first assess whether we can fully manage the matter internally. If the firm requires specific skills or have an unusually large workload, we may consider hiring external lawyers, consultants, or other professionals.
2. Selecting external support: If our law firm decides to seek external support, the firm will identify potential candidates based on their qualifications, experience, and reputation. The firm may also consider factors such as cost, availability, and compatibility with the firm’s culture and values.
3. Engagement and scope of work: Once the external support team is selected, our law firm will engage with them and define the scope of work. This may involve negotiating the terms of engagement, such as fees, billing arrangements, and deadlines. Our firm will also provide the external team with any necessary information, such as case files or project details, to ensure they have the information needed to perform their work effectively.
4. Collaboration and communication: Throughout the engagement, our law firm and external team will collaborate and communicate to ensure the work is progressing according to plan. The firm may provide feedback on the external team’s work, and the external team may provide updates on their progress or ask for clarification on any issues that arise.
5. Review and completion: Once the work is completed, our law firm will review the results to ensure they meet the firm’s standards and client needs. If necessary, the firm may also integrate the external team’s work into its own work product, such as a brief or report.
6. Single point of contact: 11th Summit Legal will remain your single point of contact.

Our ability to work with a team of external lawyers, consultants, and professionals provides you with access to specialised expertise and resources, enabling the firm to handle more complex matters, serve clients more effectively and control costs.
