The March 2005 issue of HR Magazine (published by the Society for Human Resource Management) has an interesting article on a "new business model for delivering employment law services to companies."  According to the authors of the article: "many companies have found that there are now alternatives to using their in-house counsel or traditional law firms for all their preventive needs, and have begun to use employment law consulting firms in addition to, or instead of, their usual lawyers."  The authors provide examples of how employment law consulting firms can add value in a variety of scenarios.
