Eversheds Nicea is aware of the need for companies’ legal departments to have a close relationship with their clients (the business). However, in this technological age in which telecommunications have made it easy to access clients and to communicate with them we consider that, using both in-person and technological techniques, the client can be provided with an excellent global service.

Our proposal is as follows:
– understanding your needs: after an initial meeting with you to get a deeper understanding of your requirements, our Unit Manager will give her opinion and set out the possible ways forward. The parties will then agree on the conditions under which the service will be provided
– provision of the service: this stage involves providing
continuous support to you and your business regarding those matters which the members of the pharmaceutical company’s in-house legal team delegate to us
– the service will have the following features:
- initial presence, defined and adjusted to your requirements, of one of the our members in your legal department. This will allow both the business and the lawyer in question to get to know one another. The duration of the service and the period of the initial presence of the lawyer from the Unit will be agreed by both parties according to the length of the support period requested by you
- regardless of which member of the Unit is assigned to provide the service, matters will be coordinated, reviewed and approved by the Management of the Unit
- it is recommended that you assign the lawyer from the Unit an email address, facilitating contact
between him/her and the business
– occasional meetings at your request when required
