MLA Interim Legal Talent has the capabilities and technology to engage overworked and under-supported law firms and corporate legal departments with on-demand and expert legal talent for project and assignment-based matters.
We have career-long relationships with experienced interim counsel and consulting lawyers who enjoy the challenge and flexibility of working engagement to engagement.
