Having an ongoing legal partner reduces costly disruptions by enabling timely decisions, aligning strategy with compliance, and improving risk mitigation. An Outside General Counsel provides continuity across leadership changes, ensures consistent contract standards, and helps navigate complex regulatory environments, all while offering transparent budgeting and predictable resource allocation.
Benefit one is improved governance clarity, ensuring roles, responsibilities, and decision rights are well defined. This reduces ambiguity in critical moments, accelerates approvals, and strengthens accountability across leadership, management, and external advisors.
Choosing us means partnering with a business-focused team that values clarity, practical solutions, and steady guidance. We tailor services to your size, industry, and goals, helping you navigate contracts, governance, and compliance with a partner who knows the Dobson market.
Part two covers final checks, handoff to internal teams, and ongoing monitoring. We establish metrics for success, align with budgets, and schedule follow-up reviews to confirm long-term compliance and effective governance going forward.
Outside General Counsel is a retained legal partner offering strategic, ongoing guidance rather than one-off advice. It works as an extension of your leadership, aligning legal work with business goals and delivering proactive support across governance, contracts, and compliance.\n\nBy leveraging a retainer, you gain predictable costs, faster responses, and continuity. This structure helps leadership maintain momentum while reducing adversarial billing practices and fostering collaborative decision-making across teams everyday.
An Outside General Counsel provides ongoing strategic leadership, governance oversight, and integrated contract management. A traditional attorney often handles discrete matters and bills hourly, which can lead to fragmented advice and unpredictable costs.\n\nThe retainer approach with an OGC fosters continuity, cross-functional collaboration, and proactive risk management, aligning legal work with business strategy rather than reacting to emergencies, and supporting long-term resilience consistently.
Costs are typically structured as a monthly retainer with a defined scope. This model provides predictable budgeting and reduces hourly spikes. The exact number depends on scope, team size, and the level of service required.\n\nWe tailor retainers to business stages, ensuring you pay for what you need while preserving the ability to scale. Regular check-ins help adjust the plan as goals evolve over time.
