When Should Your Company Hire Outside General Counsel?

1. When Your Company Is Growing

Hiring outside general counsel to attend to your legal work can greatly encourage growth. They can act as a consultant, focusing on contract risk management and reviewing your company's overall standing to keep you out of trouble and on an upwards trajectory.

2. When You're Struggling and Need Legal Advice

If your company starts experiencing legal troubles or just needs questions answered in general, outside general counsel can prove a lifesaver. Business litigation is best handled by experienced attorneys and law firms with a strong background in these types of disputes

3. When Your In-House Team Needs Support

The combination of in-house and outsourced general counsel can be incredibly effective, with the outsourced team offering support on an as-needed basis. They can attend to routine issues and other particular needs, while in-house focuses on more pressing disputes

4. When the Benefit Outweighs the Cost

Civil suits are expensive, and typically, hiring an outside general counsel team will be less expensive than losing that suit. If the cost of getting an outsourced team is lower, then it's definitely worth it on an on-demand basis.

What Is the Cost of Our External Legal Counsel Services?

The cost of our legal services depends on the activity or legal matter you need assistance with. Some tasks require more time, while others can be accomplished relatively quickly.

During your consultation, we can discuss how our legal team can assist you and go over the cost of your services. Our consultation fee starts at $350 for a one-hour meeting.

Working with reliable outside general counsel contributes to the health and expansion of your business while mitigating any potential risks of legal exposure. You receive the same level of effort and dedication as an in-house legal team without the cost of one.
