About us
Interhouse started as a simple idea, stemming from an even simpler question - what if there was a better way to provide legal services to growing businesses? From that question came the concept of a legal services model that combines the most effective parts of traditional law firms and in-house legal departments - a firm centred on experienced fractional in-house lawyers.
​
So what do you call a law firm that serves its clients on an in-house basis?
​
Interhouse.
