-min.avif)
When Fidelity Investments set out to reduce rising legal costs and improve efficiency, they needed a model that could deliver high-quality legal work without escalating outside counsel spend. Partnering with Consilio, Fidelity built a long-term flexible legal talent program that has now run for nearly two decades, and the results have been remarkable.
By shifting strategic work away from outside counsel and into a carefully structured team of flexible legal professionals, Fidelity has cut outside counsel expenses by roughly 80% annually while maintaining exceptional standards of expertise. Beyond the numbers, the program has become a benchmark for legal talent innovation: professionals stay for years, some transition into full-time roles, and survey results show 100% satisfaction with work-life balance.
This case study explores how Fidelity and Consilio created a sustainable model that combines cost savings, career growth, and personal flexibility, proving that flexible talent isn’t just a stopgap, but a long-term strategy for legal excellence.
