Frequently asked questions about interim lawyers in Germany.
What is the difference between interim lawyers and project lawyers?
Interim describes a time-limited assignment, for example, to cover for a legal counsel. Project lawyers work on defined initiatives. In practice, both terms can overlap. The decisive factors are tasks, integration, and the contract model.
How much does an interim lawyer cost?
The budget depends on seniority, area of expertise, duration, weekly hours, and deployment model. Once your requirements are clarified, you will receive a concrete proposal. For a reliable comparison, you should also consider administration, onboarding, and handover.
Is part-time or remote work also possible?
The requirements and tasks determine the collaboration. Part-time, full-time, remote work, on-site, or a hybrid model are possible by arrangement. Availability, internal requirements, and necessary system access are clarified in advance.
Does Alpinum also provide an external legal department?
Alpinum provides specialists and executives to supplement your legal function. Your company manages the deployment. An independently outsourced legal department as a service is not part of this offering.
