Policies
Corporate policy library — PDPL, AML, ABC, employment, procurement, whistleblowing, governance. Bilingual, enforceable, Saudi-law compliant.
→We build the legal function. You run the business.
Studio delivers legal infrastructure for GCC companies — frameworks, templates, AI tools, and embedded operations. Fixed-scope. Fixed-price. Built to last.
WHY STUDIO
Legal complexity is growing. Full in-house teams are not always the answer.
GCC companies face expanding legal complexity — PDPL compliance, Vision 2030 regulations, commercial contracts, corporate governance, labour law. But most cannot justify a full in-house legal team. They overpay law firms for routine work, or operate blind with no infrastructure at all.
Studio solves this with legal infrastructure, not legal advice. Fixed deliverables. Practitioner-built. GCC-compliant as standard.
Every product is something the client keeps, builds on, and uses independently after delivery.
No retainers required to start. No billable hours. No scope creep.

→HOW IT WORKS
Three layers. One system. Built in sequence.
Layer 1 · Foundation
Build this first.
The structural backbone. The Assessment maps every gap, the Blueprint designs the function, the Template Library puts professional contracts in place. These three products unlock everything downstream.
L1-01 Legal Function Assessment
L1-02 Legal Function Blueprint
L1-03 Core Contract Template Library
Layer 2 · Products
Targeted deliverables.
Standalone licensed products addressing specific operational needs. Buy independently or following the Assessment. Each is a fixed deliverable the client keeps.
L2-01 Contract Playbook
L2-02 Policy Library — Starter Pack
L2-03 Legal KPI Dashboard
L2-04 CLM Selection Guide
Layer 3 · Programmes
Ongoing capability.
Higher-touch programmes that build deep capability. The Fractional Legal Ops retainer embeds Lean Counsel as an external Head of Legal Ops.
L3-01 Non-Lawyer Contract Training
L3-02 Fractional Legal Ops (retainer)
Start with the Assessment — it maps every gap and tells you exactly what you need.
