Rubus Law intermediates between coporate clients, and legal service providers.
We leverage corporate intelligence to structure transactions and navigate threats more effectively. This delivers our clients a competitive edge.
Regulatory notice
Section 12 of the UK Legal Services Act 2007 (“the LSA”) sets out the specific legal services activities that only professional service providers who are authorised (or those who are exempt) under the LSA can provide. These are called “reserved legal activities” and their scope is set out in Schedule 2 of the LSA. Only Lawyers authorised by the LSA are approved and regulated in the conduct of these reserved legal activities.
Consultants who provide legal advice internationally outside of France and South Africa internationally, add excellent value in these roles based on past practice experience, but do not present themselves as practicing lawyers. This means that all reserved legal work outside of France and South Africa must be conducted by an actively licenced lawyer in the jurisdiction of that service. Rubus Law supports inhouse legal tems by integrating coporate intelligence with legal strategy, the selection of the best legal resources and project management. The implication for clients is the regulatory and professional indemnity protections can only be secured when we engage authorised law firms.
Where Rubus selects a law firm to deliver “reserved legal activities” the Client must sign a separate Letter of Engagement/Terms of Business Letter with that law firm.
