We offer value in a variety of ways:

Commercial Legal Services -We take care of your day-to-day in-house legal needs, ranging from corporate structuring and financings, to dealing with ongoing commercial contracts and employment issues, in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Support for Current In-house Counsel - For existing in-house counsel or departments, we serve as an excellent alternative to hiring an additional, full-time counsel or outsourcing overflow commercial work that would be optimally handled by an experienced in-house counsel capable of working independently.

Management of Special Projects - When you are involved in an intricate project such as a complex financing, merger, acquisition, litigation, or patent prosecution, we manage the “legal project”  as your de facto general counsel, including sourcing and coordinating with the optimal outside counsel as appropriate.  This removes the supervisory resource drain on your management team and also makes the overall project more efficient and cost-effective by internalizing much of the work and knowledge at our more favourable rate structure. 

Flexibility - Cognition recognizes that the legal needs of organizations ebb and flow, both in terms of quantity and complexity. Our delivery model is a reflection of that reality. We work for you how and when you need it, whether that is as a part-time in-house counsel, as a resource to manage special projects, as a supplement to an existing in-house department, as an alternative to or diversification from an existing outside firm, or as a temporary replacement for a counsel on leave, or who has departed.

Our Network - We work with a number of clients in different industries with similar perspectives and goals. This allows us to add tremendous value by putting our clients and contacts together for partnering opportunities or by suggesting contacts for employment, consulting or financing needs.
