Australian firm Corrs Chambers Westgarth has launched an 'new legal resourcing business' through which clients can use contract lawyers on a temporary basis.

By taking this route, it is following the kind of example set by Eversheds and Allen & Overy when they set up units of lawyers who could be taken on by clients at cheaper rates than by using law firm staff. The new service, called Orbit, will be available to clients, non-clients and also to partners in Corrs.

All the lawyers in the team will be self-employed and will have a minimum of three years' experience. Source: Lawyers Weekly
