Legal Procurement & GC-as-a-Service
Institutional buy-side advisory for general counsels and procurement leaders sourcing external legal capability — and fractional GC capacity for organisations without an in-house function.
Eutin Warren operates as the strategic interface between enterprises and the external legal market. Our mandate is to translate commercial intent into procurement architecture: panel design, scope discipline, fee construct, performance instrumentation, and the governance that holds it all together.
For organisations without a permanent general counsel, our GC-as-a-Service practice provides senior legal leadership on a fractional or interim basis — covering board reporting, contract operations, regulatory cadence, and counsel coordination across jurisdictions.

What clients ask.
What is legal procurement?
Legal procurement is the strategic sourcing and management of external legal services — applying procurement discipline (scope, fee construct, performance metrics, governance) to a category that has historically resisted it.
How does GC-as-a-Service work?
A senior advisor from Eutin Warren operates as the fractional or interim general counsel for an organisation, attending board meetings, coordinating external counsel, and maintaining regulatory cadence — without the cost of a permanent hire.
Is this a law firm engagement?
No. Eutin Warren provides business and advisory services. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation. Where formal legal opinions are required, we coordinate with independent law firms selected by the client.
