At TLD, we love giving SMEs access to quality legal services. But that’s not all we do. Our service model of supplying senior lawyers on a fractional or part-time basis also works well for overstretched legal teams in large organisations. 

Kerry Phillip’s role at GMS

Client Legal Director Kerry Phillip fulfils just such a role at GMS, supporting Chief Legal Officer Lisa Goodenough and her busy legal team. During a recent client listening exercise, conducted by Anna Lake, Lisa recognised that a more junior lawyer would not be able to offer such commercial, practical guidance. She told us how Kerry’s pragmatism and experience are hugely valuable to the team.
