Anticipating our clients' current and future needs is at the heart of our approach at CMS Scotland.  The legal landscape is constantly changing, and we acknowledge the growing demand from our clients for adaptable secondment resources. That's where our Strategic Secondment Unit, or SSU, comes into play. Our team of lawyers, with expertise spanning various sectors and experience levels, is well-equipped to meet this demand across our Scottish clients.

Value 
A fair pricing model to support short-term resourcing.

We are already working with a number of key clients including, The University of St Andrews and Vattenfall, to deliver this bespoke offering.

“The unit brings together a team of exceptional professionals who offer legal expertise, operational support, and a commercial mindset to help clients progress their business. Having our team members embedded within a business delivers immense benefits as our secondees offer their skills, experience and commercial acumen and can swiftly identify the key points that truly matter to our clients.”

"During a period of resignation and recruitment CMS provided a secondee to our legal team which was invaluable and gave us great support. The combination of the options for how a secondment would work, the background, skills and experience of the secondee allied to the wider resource in CMS was invaluable to helping us through what could have been a difficult period."
