Outside Counsel

Outside general counsel services offer a cost-effective alternative for growing and mature businesses that need regular legal support without the expense of a full-time executive-level general counsel. Our firm provides a team of senior business attorneys with substantial corporate experience who deliver flexible, practical legal services tailored to each client’s needs. Clients typically work closely with one lead attorney while having access to our full team for specialized matters.

Businesses of all sizes face daily decisions involving employees, suppliers, vendors, competitors, and more—all of which raise legal risks. While large companies may staff entire legal departments, most small and mid-sized businesses cannot justify the cost. Even businesses with some legal resources often find that owners spend too much time managing legal issues themselves, rather than focusing on growth. Our outside general counsel services solve this problem by offering consistent, high-level legal support at a fraction of the cost.

We offer two service models. Through our retained outside counsel program, clients set a monthly budget for addressing day-to-day legal matters or focusing on specific needs. This predictable fee structure provides consistent access to valuable legal advice while helping manage expenses and mitigate risk. Alternatively, our a la carte services allow businesses to engage general counsel support as needed at a lower hourly rate than traditional law firms—ideal for emerging companies with inconsistent legal demands. Typical projects include contract review and negotiation, employee handbook development, and handling legal issues that arise as businesses scale.

Under either model, clients receive strategic, business-focused legal counsel. Just as businesses outsource functions like payroll, recruiting, or marketing, they can now outsource their legal needs with predictable costs and the benefit of experienced legal guidance. We offer clear, practical advice, risk management strategies, and the ability to oversee outside counsel when necessary.

Our attorneys integrate seamlessly into your management team, using company email systems and phone extensions if desired. With our corporate background and industry knowledge, we quickly learn the inner workings of our clients’ operations and develop the deep understanding needed to serve as a true legal partner.
