General Counsel Program Benefits.

Our General Counsel Program provides the close hands-on legal advice of an in-house general counsel without paying a big salary and providing employee benefits.  And, compared to retaining a traditional hourly rate law firm, having us serve you as retained counsel can provide benefits like:

• Freeing up time for senior management to enable them to focus on core company operations.
  
• Accessing better advice based on a hands-on assessment of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats as the company grows and changes.

• Reducing the total cost of legal services.

• Receiving better value for fees expended based on preventing legal difficulties upfront, rather than resolving them after they have risen.

• Obtaining the kind of legal perspectives that are only available from a lawyer who is actually participating in executive management meetings, providing advice about issues as they arise.

• Facilitating closer working relationships with all members of management, not just one primary contact.

• Enhanced mitigation of legal risks as key business strategies are developed with a potentially broader range of feedback and guidance than otherwise would be possible.

For larger companies that already have an in-house legal department, we can provide a flexible cost-effective extension of their existing in-house capacity, cost effectively dealing with the smaller problems that never seen to come to the top of an expanding workload, as well as handling specialized projects that require specialized expertise.
