Strategic legal advice entails proactive, business-aligned legal guidance that anticipates and addresses legal issues before they evolve into disputes or regulatory concerns. Instead of restricting support to isolated transactions or reactive intervention, it involves a continuous evaluation of legal risks across business operations. This approach ensures alignment with corporate objectives while preserving legal and reputational integrity.
