Small Legal Teams (1-10 Lawyers)

Helping Small Legal Teams Punch Above Their Weight

Small legal teams are expected to deliver enterprise-grade performance, yet often without the resources to do so. Everingham Legal helps you scale your impact through smarter systems, legal technology, and data-led operations.

Who We Partner With

Small legal teams are agile, versatile, and close to the business. But they’re often stretched thin, managing everything from contracts and compliance to board reporting, often without operational or tech support.

Teams with 1-10 lawyers operate in fast-moving environments where responsiveness, visibility, and efficiency make the difference between being a bottleneck and being a strategic enabler.

The Pressure To Deliver

We understand what it is like to work in a small in-house legal team with:

  • High matter volume and competing business priorities.

  • Limited visibility into workload, metrics, and risk exposure.

  • Lack of standardized templates, playbooks, or workflows.

  • Overreliance on email, spreadsheets, and manual tracking.

  • Difficulty demonstrating legal’s value to leadership.

Our Approach

No two legal teams are the same, but they all benefit from a partner who understands both law and operations.

Our approach combines:

  • Systems Thinking: We design operating models that connect people, process, data, and technology.

  • Practical Delivery: We balance strategy with execution, ensuring every recommendation is achievable.

  • Human Insight: We understand the realities of legal work and design change that feels natural, not forced.

Progress should be measurable, sustainable, and meaningful.
