Having access to strategic legal counsel as a standing component of your leadership team reduces litigation risk, accelerates decision-making, and improves vendor and investor confidence. This model offers predictable budgeting, scalable support during rapid growth or downturns, and ongoing governance that helps you comply with changing laws without sacrificing agility.
Consistent governance reduces the risk of misalignment between leadership and legal risk, allowing timely and well-supported decisions. It also provides a framework for policy updates, training, and accountability across departments.
Choosing our Outside General Counsel delivers ongoing legal leadership, industry-savvy guidance, and a steady hand to steer complex decisions. We integrate with leadership, provide practical policy recommendations, and help you navigate regulatory changes while maintaining cost control and transparency.
Part 2 develops a schedule for reviews, responsibilities, and governance improvements, reinforcing accountability and measurable outcomes.
Outside General Counsel is an embedded legal partner providing ongoing guidance to a company, combining strategic planning with day-to-day counsel. This model suits growing businesses that want consistent legal support without the overhead of a full-time internal team. Benefits include predictable budgeting, faster decision making, and a closer alignment between legal risk and business goals, helping leaders focus on growth.
While in-house counsel is a permanent employee within the company, Outside General Counsel is an embedded advisory partner who can scale services up or down. This arrangement provides continuity and strategic guidance without the fixed costs of a full-time salary, benefits, and infrastructure. You pay for value, not a full-time employee.
Companies in growth mode, facing complex compliance, contract management, or frequent strategic transactions, often gain the most. These organizations benefit from predictable costs and scalable support without sacrificing operational agility and clear governance. Sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and professional services typically benefit from flexible, integrated legal leadership. They value faster risk assessment, policy development, and cross-functional collaboration across product, sales, operations, and finance.
Scope is defined at the outset in an engagement plan that lists priority areas, expected deliverables, service levels, and escalation paths. It sets milestones and responsibilities for both sides clearly. We tailor the plan to your industry, size, and growth trajectory, ensuring flexibility and accountability.
Fees are typically monthly retainer-based with defined milestones, scope, and clear exclusions, allowing budgeting predictability. We provide detailed invoices and transparent itemization. For larger projects or peak periods, we can adjust the scope or switch to a project-based approach, always with prior agreement.
Yes. We support due diligence, deal structuring, contract diligence, and post-closing integration planning to protect value. Our integrated approach coordinates with finance, operations, and governance teams to keep the transaction on track while managing risk.
Engagements vary, but many clients start with an initial onboarding and three-month ramp, followed by ongoing monthly service. This cadence allows early issue identification and measurable progress. We tailor timelines to your milestones, aiming for faster responses, documented decisions, and alignment with leadership reviews to ensure you see value quickly.
Success is measured by governance improvements, risk reduction, timely contract closure, and alignment of legal work with strategic goals. We track key metrics such as cycle times, policy adoption rates, audit findings, and cost predictability, with quarterly reviews.
Our team blends corporate, M&A, employment, and governance experience with practical commercial insight. We emphasize communication, clear documentation, and collaboration with your leadership to drive measurable results.
