Providentia is an AI-enabled, non-traditional law firm that retains top-quality lawyers by providing flexibility, stability and opportunity to our attorneys, who in turn provide first-rate work product, expert legal analysis, and valuable business insights to our clients. PRIMA by Providentia represents the core of our firm—secondment—and is rooted in our desire to meet the needs of our innovative clients in Silicon Valley and beyond with professional legal counsel at predictable staffing agency rates.
Our partners rigorously vet every potential PRIMA by Providentia attorney to ensure each possesses the substantive legal skills, business acumen and practice area expertise requirements to meet our client’s expectations.
We meet with each PRIMA by Providentia client first to fully understand their needs in the legal, as well as the financial, department. Providentia then identifies qualified counsel with a fully scoped engagement proposal, allowing the client a fully-informed matching and alternative fee arrangement decision-making process.
Each PRIMA by Providentia attorney placed is supervised by the firm to ensure adherence to standards–professional, firm and client—with a clear chain of responsibility and work-product accountability.
PRIMA by Providentia attorneys can access legal tech through the firm on the client’s behalf, creating shared efficiency gains with increased client security. Providentia also maintains and protects attorney-client privilege, during and post-engagement, seamlessly managing conflicts with visibility into the client’s matters.
PRIMA by Providentia’s attorneys return to the firm at the end of their secondment to the continued benefit of the client post-engagement. Knowledge of the client’s business practices and positions are maintained within the firm to allow immediate response to any new matters as they arise.
PRACTICE LEAD
Providentia was founded by David Ryan, an internationally experienced business leader and lawyer with a background working in-house or as outside-counsel for Apple, Meta, Google, and eBay. David founded Providentia to offer an innovative platform for outside counsel and secondment solutions, delivering results, and practical commercial guidance.
PRIMA by Providentia attorneys succeed as secondees because they have extensive experience in both law firm and in-house roles.
These boundary-crossing skills of each PRIMA by Providentia attorney enable exceptional pattern recognition to anticipate issues, organizational collaboration skills to devise innovative legal strategies and a focused approach to deliver expert, pragmatic and proactive in-house solutions.
