Of course. We love to meet new clients and will always take the time to understand your legal needs before we ever charge you.

Outside General Counsel (OGC) provides businesses with ongoing legal support similar to having an in-house general counsel, but on an outsourced, flexible, and cost-effective basis.  

Traditional law firms are almost entirely project-based.  If you need a contract drafted, an employee terminated, or a dispute resolved, a traditional law firm tackles that issue, and that issue alone, and bills you for the time spent.

Because we function like a law department, we manage broad areas of responsibility, are available when and where we are needed, and provide the kind of holistic legal support that law firms simply are not designed to provide.

Our services are ideal for small to mid-sized companies, startups, family-owned businesses, and growing enterprises that need regular legal advice but don’t want the cost of a full-time, in-house lawyer.

We advise on corporate governance, contracts, employment law, compliance, risk management, intellectual property, dispute prevention, and general business strategy. When your company has highly specialized legal needs, we partner with our network of highly competent specialists and oversee their work much the way an in-house attorney would.

We depend on long-term engagements to drive our business, but we recognize the importance that we must always justify our inclusion on your team. For this reason, our standard engagement is month-to-month. This aligns our incentives and ensures that we continuously strive to earn your business.

Yes. We draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of agreements—including vendor contracts, customer agreements, employment contracts, NDAs, and partnership agreements.

We focus on preventing disputes before they escalate. If litigation becomes necessary, we coordinate with trusted litigators and manage the process on your behalf.

We can complement your in-house team by providing extra capacity, specialized knowledge, or handling day-to-day matters so your in-house lawyers can focus on strategic initiatives.

We offer flexible pricing—monthly retainer packages for ongoing support, flat fees for specific projects, and alternative fee structures where appropriate. We are business people like you, and we’ll always work to find a win-win fee structure for your business.

Traditional law firms have one thing to sell you—billable hours. Because OGC functions as an outsourced legal function, our fees are fixed and predictable just like an in-house attorney. Rather than focusing on billable hours, we focus on optimizing your company’s legal and business outcomes. Because at the end of the day, billable hours are not what your company needs—you need best-in-class business law support, and nobody delivers that better and more efficiently than OGC.

Our fee structure also removes one common factor that impedes companies from seeking legal input—the concern that every five-minute phone call will start the meter running. We thrive on five-minute phone calls, and often these contributions make all the difference in determining your success.

Yes. We tailor packages to match your stage of growth, so even early-stage companies can access high-quality legal guidance without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Absolutely. We help identify risks, develop compliance policies, and ensure your business follows state, federal, and industry-specific regulations.

Yes. Many clients appoint our attorneys as corporate secretary to assist with board matters, add us to the senior management team, and include us in key meetings and leadership discussions so we can provide real-time legal and business insight.

We work with a wide range of industries—including technology, healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, real estate, and more—adapting our counsel to your business model.

We act as a member of your executive team, available for day-to-day questions, long-term planning, and urgent issues, ensuring decisions are legally sound.

Yes. Our model is flexible—whether you need just a few hours of counsel each month or near full-time legal coverage, we adapt to your needs.
