Managed Legal Services from Pinsent Masons Vario provide the solutions you need to move your business forward.


Managed Legal Services (MLS) relates to the practice of outsourcing various legal tasks and functions to specialised external providers. These services can be utilised to support routine day-to-day legal work or to assist with specific projects, offering flexibility and scalability to meet the varying needs of a business. To us, MLS is a comprehensive approach to legal delivery that combines quality legal advice with the efficiencies of a modern, flexible professional services business.
