What We Do For Lawyers

Counterpart Law delivers on-demand support that is cost effective and convenient.  If you’re looking to bolster your firm’s capacity for a specific matter or period of time, are developing an AI tool to improve your firm’s efficiency, or want an experienced sounding board to help guide your strategy, Counterpart Law can help. 

The Counterpart Law service model is fully customisable to your firm’s needs, and we will work with you to achieve your aims.  We are fully guided by the support you and your firm need, not a pre-packaged offering. 

We focus on litigation relating to:

  • medical negligence

  • inquests

  • personal injury

  • building and construction

  • employment

  • banking

  • insurance law

  • health-related investigation and litigation

The Counterpart Law team has a proven track record of supporting other legal practitioners to achieve the best possible results for their firms, their clients, their staff, and themselves in a range of circumstances. 

Our service offerings include:

  • We’re here to enhance your firm’s capability while preserving your identity, and we’ll work with you to find the best way to achieve this.

    Whether you have a partner going on leave and you need an experienced, steady hand on the tiller to step in and keep your firm running to the highest standard, or you’re running a matter outside your core focus, Counterpart Law can slot seamlessly into your practice. 

    Our White Labelling support can be scaled up or down based on your firm’s requirements.  Having a key staff member on leave might only require 2-3 days per week of support from Counterpart to meet your firm’s goals. 

    As experienced practitioners, we know there are infinite invisible tasks that senior members of your team perform, like giving advice and support to junior staff, making quick decisions on emails and minor requests, and organisational admin, as well as attending to the key workplace priorities relating to client management, litigation strategy development, and briefing expert witnesses.

    When you need some extra capacity, Counterpart Law’s approach ensures you can maintain continuity and trust with your clients.  Counterpart Law has run this model both in office and remotely, so whatever your needs, Counterpart Law can meet them.

  • The team at Counterpart Law has extensive experience acting for both plaintiffs and defendants in personal injury, insurance litigation, and a range of other matters. 

    Our team can help you see beyond the documents to the big-picture strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of the case, so you can achieve the best outcome for your client.

    The Counterpart Law team supports litigation strategy development for lawyers at all levels of post-admission experience, including providing second counsel to peers.

  • When Counterpart Law is engaged to draft documents, we ensure they incorporate the latest legal precedents and shifts, as well as matching the distinctive style of your practice. 

    We produce the full remit of documents generated in civil litigation, spanning sensitive correspondence, complex court documents, and considered briefing letters to experts seeking opinion of breach of duty of care, causation, and damage.

  • The Counterpart Law team has supported clients and witnesses with widely varying needs through highly complex legal matters. 

    We are adept at liaising with your clients and witnesses and will use the insights gained through this process to help you evaluate the case's merits, contemplate initiation of proceedings, and gear up for hearings.

    Whether face-to-face or through virtual channels, we adapt to the preferences of your clients and any witnesses, ensuring their comfort and convenience.

    When you engage Counterpart Law to support your practice, our non-competition clause guarantees your clients will always remain yours.  We are here to help make your practice shine.

  • When supporting you in litigation, Counterpart Law can identify and brief specialists and experts, review incoming evidence and provide ongoing analysis to inform the development of the litigation strategy.

    Counterpart can also review the evidence you’ve already gathered in a case that’s underway and review your strategy to ensure it’s the best option to achieve your clients and your firms objective. 

    Our team excels in every facet of evidence planning and preparation, and all members of the team pride themselves on quick turnarounds and impeccable attention to detail. 

  • Our Principal, Jennifer Newman, is experienced at supporting firms to build and train Artificial Intelligence tools, and testing AI tools in legal markets. 

    If you are looking for support to ensure the back end of your systems meets the standards your firm requires and can perform the tasks you need to maximise your firm’s efficiency and effectiveness, Counterpart Law can help. 

  • Practicing as a sole or micro practitioner can be isolating.  Our collegiate service is designed for experienced lawyers seeking a reliable sounding board: someone to test ideas with, discuss strategies, or talk through the tricky stuff.

    For those earlier in their careers or newly in practice, we also offer tailored mentoring. Whether it’s guidance on legal issues, help navigating client dynamics, or support in growing your practice, we’re here to offer insight, perspective, and a steady hand.
