Interim general counsel services
SPR Consulting specializes in providing short and long-term legal resources to create, build upon or replace critical legal staff within your company's In-House Legal Department. By serving as Interim General Counsel, Head of Legal or Senior Legal Counsel, we can help organizations who may have a temporary need due to medical absence (e.g. maternity leave), as well as those who would prefer to have their legal roles permanently outsourced. We also work organizations to establish a legal department, determine longer-term staffing needs and facilitate the recruitment and training of permanent legal staff.
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL AGREEMENTS
Facilitating commerce on a local, national or global level is at the heart of what SPR Consulting does. We work with clients to draft, review and execute agreements with minimal "legalese" and maximum clarity for all parties. Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C) agreements have their individual intricacies; SPR Consulting ensures that, regardless of context, business area or product/services provided, commercial transactions take all relevant stakeholders into account.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The best ideas have failed to materialize because they lacked proper planning. Lack of clarity on accountability can also lead to unfulfilled goals. By using the latest Project Management tools, SPR Consulting works with clients to ensure that, from ideation to creation, a clear process exists whereby all stakeholders understand their roles and challenges are identified early and often. Ideas, tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive creative market.
Multi-Channel Implementation (Retail, e-commerce,Wholesale/Distributor/ Franchising)
Our clients offer their goods and services through numerous channels, and many others need guidance on which channel(s) best suits their business model and customer needs. Owning retail outfits enables brands to control their messaging but comes at considerable lease, employee and other operating costs. E-Commerce enables instant and global purchases and payments but also creates ample opportunity for fraud. From franchising to wholesale distributorship, SPR Consulting will walk you through the various considerations companies need to consider before bringing your product to market. Demystifying legal processes is in itself a creative practice. It requires finesse, strategic structuring, and in many ways, empathy. At the end of the day, art and its worth are profoundly personal. That’s why we advise mediation or arbitration before stepping into litigation.
INTERNAL OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE
Successful organizations create and maintain seamless processes throughout their supply chain, employment/retention practices, IT infrastructure and other core internal systems. SPR Consulting works with its clients to understand business and ensure underlying agreements supporting internal processes. Our wealth of experience with clients in myriad industries and relationships with vendors enables us to provide pointed guidance that can reduce spend and redundancy within an organization.
COMPLIANCE/REGULATORY AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Compliance has become a buzzword, from the launch of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe to heavy global enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices (FCPA), knowing the applicable rules and regulations that concern your business is just as important as knowing who your customer is. SPR Consulting is experienced in global compliance matters and can advise on how best to create, implement and maintain a risk-based compliance program.
Structuring your company’s corporate governance practice is largely dictated by local legislation (minimum number of directors, share capital requirements), but there are also best practices that can create a most efficient, transparent and shareholder-value-driven organization. SPR Consulting will coordinate with local companies to ensure that you achieve all desired corporate governance goals.
hospitality consulting services
Exceeding guest expectations and retaining key staff members are more critical then ever for the hospitality industry. SPR Consulting facilitates both of these objectives by providing pointed guidance to the world’s leading hotel operators on how well their staff are executing on brand guidelines via “mystery evaluator” deployments. Evaluations also identify staff members who may need re-training, as well as those who may be ready for advancing within the organization. In addition to mystery evaluator deployments, SPR Consulting provides services to assist with company expansion, reorganization, rebranding, amongst other organizational changes.
