Overview
In-house legal and privacy teams are facing more than they can reasonably absorb: an expanding patchwork of U.S. state privacy laws, the rapid arrival of AI governance obligations, regulator scrutiny of advertising and data practices, and an ever-growing pipeline of vendor, technology, and marketing agreements to review. At the same time, hiring specialized privacy, AI, and advertising counsel internally is hard, slow, and expensive.
InfoLawGroup secondments offer a practical alternative. We place experienced ILG attorneys directly into our clients' legal, privacy, marketing, or compliance teams — working alongside your in-house lawyers and business partners, on your priorities, under your direction. From short-term project support to long-term embedded counsel, our secondees bring the depth of a specialized firm with the responsiveness and commercial fluency of an in-house lawyer.
Why a Secondment from InfoLawGroup®
Unlike general staffing solutions, our secondees are practicing ILG attorneys whose day-to-day work is privacy, AI, advertising, marketing, media, and technology law. They bring with them:
Deep subject-matter expertise. Ranked by Chambers & Partners, recognized by U.S. News and World Report Best Law Firms, and home to IAPP Fellows, AIGP-certified attorneys, and a Foundational Supporter of the IAPP AI Governance Center, ILG is built around the disciplines most in-house teams need most.
The firm behind the secondee. A secondee is never on an island. While working with you, they have full access to ILG's collective knowledge, precedents, and partners across privacy, AI, advertising, technology, and regulatory matters. When a novel question lands, you get the secondee's judgment and the firm's bench.
Industry fluency. ILG attorneys regularly work with social media and technology companies, FinTech, EdTech, cryptocurrency and blockchain, CPG, retail and ecommerce, alcohol and cannabis, movie studios, marketing services providers, media networks, publishers, and financial institutions. Secondees arrive already familiar with your industry's regulatory landscape and commercial norms.
Cost predictability. Secondments are typically structured as a fixed monthly or weekly fee at a meaningful discount to standard rates, giving in-house teams the budget certainty that hourly billing can't.
When a Secondment Makes Sense
Clients turn to ILG for secondment support in a range of situations, including:
Privacy and data governance gaps — standing up or scaling a privacy program, responding to new state laws, supporting a CPO or DPO, or providing ongoing CPO on Demand™–style coverage from within your team.
AI governance build-out — drafting AI use policies, reviewing AI vendor contracts, advising product teams on responsible deployment, and helping establish internal governance structures.
Advertising and marketing review capacity — clearing campaigns, promotions, sweepstakes, influencer programs, endorsements, and claims substantiation at the pace your marketing team actually moves.
Commercial and technology contracting — DPAs, SaaS and software licenses, vendor agreements, marketing services agreements, content licensing, and other recurring technology and data agreements.
Leave and transition coverage — filling a parental leave, sabbatical, or unexpected departure with a known, ready-to-go specialist rather than a multi-month search.
Defined-scope projects — contract remediation, M&A privacy and data diligence, breach response readiness, regulatory inquiries, and other initiatives with a clear beginning and end.
Specialist support for growing legal teams — giving a generalist GC or small legal department access to senior privacy, AI, or advertising counsel without committing to a senior hire.
