In this episode, Phil Redhead is joined by Rob Jarrett, founder of Size Seven Law and co-founder of Allegro, to discuss the evolving legal talent market.
Rob shares how he moved away from private practice to working independently in-house at companies like TikTok and ITV. Rob and Phil discuss how there is a changing legal market, where in the past many professionals in the law industry would only turn to independent consulting nearer to retirement, whereas now many more people are considering the switch earlier in their careers. They also explore the rise of flexible and fractional legal resourcing and why many in-house teams are rethinking how they source legal support.
Rob outlines how Allegro’s tech-enabled marketplace connects businesses with experienced solo lawyers more efficiently, while also sharing his advice on legal operations and what the future holds for in-house legal teams.
