An Alternative Legal Services Provider (ALSP)

In today’s fast-paced business climate, law firms and corporate legal departments must be resourceful and responsive as they address their clients’ legal and business issues. 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. After we take the time to discern your exact needs, our consultants across the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific assess our global network of qualified legal and compliance professionals to introduce you to skilled experts who can join your team for as long as you need the extra support—whether that’s addressing workload for a challenging practice area, covering deal-based overflow for contracts and transactional matters, or on-boarding a team of consultants for a six-month due diligence project.
