The value of Interim

An increasing number of companies are using Interim lawyers to overcome a plethora of problems, some of which include:

Frozen budgets for Permanent recruitment
The need for experienced and specialised lawyers
The cost of seconding staff
An increase in more diverse work, i.e. employment, litigation and compliance
Uncertainty as to how long the busy periods will last

Reasons for using Interims to overcome these problems include:

The flexibility of employment - full or part-time
Easing the increased workload
Short-term notice - can work on a day-by-day basis
‘Try before you buy’ - some lead to Permanent appointments
Allow clients a better work/life balance
Huge cost saver

At a time when minimising cost for businesses is at the forefront of everyone’s minds, the savings on daily cost from using an Interim instead of a Secondee are significant. The table below demonstrates these potential savings based on average costs of an Interim from Michael Page Legal.
