Flexible support for the legal team during the growth phase

MILES needed short-term relief for setting up its small legal team. Paxa provided targeted support for compliance projects and the protection of operational processes, flexibly and independently. In this way, central projects were implemented and the burden on general counsels was noticeably relieved.

Die Herausforderung

MILES is a fast-growing company with around 750 employees. The Legal & Compliance team was still under construction and initially consisted of a newly appointed General Counsel and a Junior Legal Counsel. In view of the high workload of the legal department, short-term, reliable support was required to create operational relief in day-to-day business, while the recruiting process for additional full-time positions began at the same time.

“In an intensive growth phase, it is crucial to be able to react flexibly to changing requirements. Paxa has given us exactly this flexibility — with ready-to-use, highly qualified support that fits seamlessly into our structures. This enabled us to move forward with important projects without losing sight of our long-term strategic goals.”

Die Lösung

Paxa provided MILES with flexible and demand-oriented support, usually a few days a month, in working on specific projects. The focus was on:

  • drafting, auditing and implementing internal guidelines and compliance policies;
  • the review of commercial processes to secure day-to-day business.

Thanks to our experience, we were able to quickly adapt to the existing structures, work independently and relieve the general counsel in a targeted manner.

Die Ergebnisse

By working with Paxa, MILES was able to:

  • relieve general counsel operations and reduce work pressure;
  • push ahead with important legal projects that would otherwise have stalled; and
  • ensure that the internal legal department can focus on strategically important issues.

This flexible setup enabled MILES to maintain high legal standards without having to create additional fixed structures.
