Background

About Dan Stanton

I help organisations create modern and cost-effective in-house legal functions to support their business growth.I am a fractional general counsel, a specialist commercial lawyer and a legal technologist at Clearlake Law.I spent the first decade of my career in the City of London specialising in international mergers, acquisitions and private equity transactions.When I left the City to build my own practice, it became clear to me the legal sector needed to change dramatically, and I wanted to play a meaningful role in that change.The day-to-day business legal work facing most organisations was growing exponentially and new solutions were needed to cover the ground within budget.Businesses needed better service models, supported by well-calibrated technologies, to deliver faster and better-value legal services, in long-term but highly-flexible arrangements.I also saw that many highly-capable and highly-experienced in-house lawyers wanted to work more flexibly and with more than a single in-house client.I founded Clearlake to play a role in transforming the way legal services are performed and delivered, for the benefit of everybody involved: clients and lawyers alike.Through Clearlake, businesses around the world can access both fully-flexible in-house counsel from an authorised law firm and cost-effective legal technologies built to their specific requirements.We are your legal-department-as-a-service.Not only does Clearlake's model serve our clients well, it also empowers lawyers to take control of their own careers and achieve independence, a great work-life balance and professional fulfilment.Would you like to find out how Clearlake could transform your legal function?Please get in touch with me today on dan.stanton@clearlake.law or +44 (0) 20 3432 4464.#FractionalGC #LegalTech #LegalServices
