LEGALTECH DEPARTMENT
LegalTech Department is Nicola Franchetto's outsourced legal-office model, under Franchetto Legal.
Your outsourced legal office for data
An ongoing legal function covering the entire regulatory stack on data and AI, with a single senior point of contact and the evidence behind every choice.
Many organisations have no internal legal team for data law, yet must keep up with a growing set of rules: GDPR, AI Act, DORA, NIS2, Data Act, 231 models. Multiplying consultants, one per regime, fragments responsibility. The outsourced legal office solves this: a senior function that covers the entire stack, enters your processes and remains the single point of contact for your data. Not consulting in fits and starts, but a constant presence that keeps compliance aligned over time.
HOW IT WORKS
How it works, in practice
A function, not a one-off
An outsourced legal office that oversees your data continuously, not an isolated engagement that closes and leaves you alone.
A single senior contact
One senior point of contact for the whole stack, who knows your context and does not make you start over on every topic.
Every choice with evidence
Decisions anchored to the regulatory standard and documented, so they hold up before an authority, not merely asserted.
The areas the model covers
DPO as a Service
The outsourced DPO office, overseen continuously.
GDPR and Privacy
Records, DPIAs, notices, rights and transfers outside the Union.
AI Act and Compliance
Risk classification, transparency, provider and deployer roles.
Cybersecurity
DORA and NIS2 in concrete measures: risk, incidents, notifications.
Data Act
Access to and sharing of connected data: contracts, cloud, switching.
231 Models and Whistleblowing
The 231 Model and reporting channels, including new AI offences.
WHO IT IS FOR
Who this model is designed for
It is designed for those with no internal legal team for data law, who must cover more than one regime and do not want to multiply contacts, and who want steady senior expertise, able to handle the technical side and to demonstrate its choices, rather than isolated advice.
Why this model makes sense
The model brings together three things that rarely go together. Breadth, because it covers the entire data stack without a different specialist for every regime. The continuity of a single senior contact, who knows your context. And an honest method, because every choice is anchored to evidence, not to self-declaration. The depth of a network, with a single point of contact.
The advantages over an internal option
Senior expertise, not a junior
With outsourcing you get dedicated senior expertise, instead of hiring or seconding an often junior figure who has to be trained.
Scales with your need
The model extends with more specialised professionals as the need grows, without the lead-times of new internal hires.
Cost predictable up front
The engagement is set on a flat effort, optionally with a man-hour cap, so you know the cost before you start.
