Outside General Counsel means having senior legal leadership on a flexible basis. It helps guide governance, contracts, and major transactions without the overhead of a permanent in-house team.

Outside general counsel provides senior-level guidance without a full-time payroll. This arrangement scales with your needs, offering flexible engagement, cost control, and access to broad experience across governance, transactions, and risk. In contrast, in-house counsel is a salaried employee inside your organization, with ongoing costs and a fixed scope. The external model complements internal teams by handling peak workloads and strategic initiatives.
Services include governance framework design, contract management, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, and strategic guidance on major transactions. We also provide policy development, document templates, and ongoing leadership coaching to improve decision-making. Each engagement is tailored to industry, company size, and growth goals, with measurable milestones and transparent reporting to keep leadership informed throughout the partnership and during major initiatives and reviews.
Start times vary by scope, but most engagements begin within a few weeks. We conduct a rapid intake, review existing policies, and align with leadership priorities to establish a practical plan. For urgent needs, we offer interim support while longer-term arrangements are finalized, ensuring critical decisions are not delayed and continuity is preserved across leadership, legal operations, and key transactions.
Costs typically follow a retainer, monthly flat fee, or hourly billing depending on scope. We work with you to choose a model that fits cash flow and project needs, with predictable monthly costs and clear invoicing. Transparency is central: you receive defined deliverables, milestones, and performance metrics so you can gauge value over time. We also provide regular budget reviews and variance explanations to support financial planning.

Engagements are adjustable to demand, ensuring ongoing value while aligning with corporate strategy and compliance. This flexibility helps ensure resources are directed to where they most impact growth over time.
