Leave the legal Complexities to us!
Our team of global experts can take away the hassle of managing your global workforce.
Supporting legal advice with operational reality
Legal advice is rarely the weak point, but execution is.
For global media organisations, risk tends to appear when fast-moving operational decisions drift away from the assumptions legal advice was based on. Freelancers are re-engaged quickly. Assignments change. Work crosses borders and evidence becomes fragmented.
Project Global supports both in-house legal teams and external legal advisers working with global media organisations. We help ensure advice is applied consistently in practice, even under real pressure.
Where legal advice is most exposed
We see the same issues time and again:
- Freelancers engaged rapidly across countries without reassessment
- Roles evolving over time, increasing misclassification risk
- Payroll and employment obligations triggered unintentionally
- Decisions captured informally, or not at all
- Compliance that looks sound on paper but is difficult to evidence later
These are operational failures, not legal ones.
How we support legal teams and legal advisers
We operationalise legal advice, without replacing it.
Legal advisers provide the judgement. Legal teams carry the ongoing responsibility.
We work alongside both to ensure employment, tax and regulatory advice is applied correctly across jurisdictions and over time.
Ongoing risk monitoring
Compliance does not stop at onboarding.
Freelancer engagements are monitored throughout their full lifecycle. Clear triggers prompt reassessment when roles, locations, duration or working patterns change. This helps prevent misclassification risk from building quietly over time.
Consistent cross-border compliance
Local employment, tax and payroll rules are applied correctly in each country. Our teams track local requirements and apply them in practice, removing reliance on ad-hoc judgement calls when teams are under pressure to move fast.
Clear, audit-ready evidence
Decisions, reviews and changes are captured as part of the workflow. Not reconstructed later.
This creates defensible records that stand up to regulator, audit or public scrutiny.
Private talent pools
Compliant private talent pools allow trusted freelancers to be re-engaged quickly without repeating onboarding or bypassing checks.
Speed is preserved. Risk is controlled.
Consolidated invoicing
Instead of hundreds of individual contractor invoices, global freelancer spend is consolidated into a small number of clean, auditable invoices, typically grouped by currency.
What this means in practice
For legal advisers:
- Confidence that advice is implemented properly
- Reduced exposure that could undermine legal guidance
- Clear operational evidence if decisions are challenged
For in-house legal teams:
- Better visibility over real-world working arrangements
- Fewer compliance surprises over time
- Stronger, more defensible audit trails
Designed for complex media environments
We regularly support legal teams and advisers working with organisations involved in:
- International breaking news and conflict zones
- Elections and politically sensitive coverage
- Public service and regulated media environments
- Creator and contributor programmes at scale
