Outside General Counsel is a long-term advisory framework in which a dedicated legal team provides ongoing leadership and guidance, rather than reacting to individual matters. It ensures consistent policy, governance, and risk management across the organization while remaining flexible to changing needs. By embedding this approach, executives have reliable access to strategic counsel that helps shape budgets, negotiate complex agreements, and maintain compliance through growth.
Pricing for Outside General Counsel is typically on a retainer basis with predictable monthly or quarterly fees. The rate reflects scope, seniority of advisers, and the level of ongoing involvement. During onboarding, we tailor the plan to fit budget constraints and business priorities, then adjust as needs evolve. This approach provides stability while enabling scalable support for growing teams.
The engagement typically covers governance, contract management, compliance monitoring, risk assessment, and advisory support to leadership.
