Outside General Counsel

Growing companies hit legal questions weekly — a contract to sign, an employee issue, a vendor threatening suit — but can't justify a full-time general counsel. The outside GC engagement fills that seat: one lawyer who knows your business, on call, at a predictable monthly cost.

What the engagement covers

• Contract review and negotiation as deals arise
• Employment and HR questions answered before they become claims
• Dispute triage — handling what's small, positioning what's not
• Governance upkeep: minutes, resolutions, annual filings, ownership changes
• A direct line for the "quick question" that prevents the expensive mistake

Why it works

Ad hoc legal help means re-explaining your business every time, at emergency prices. A standing engagement means context, speed, and prevention — and when litigation does come, your lawyer starts from knowledge, not discovery. Engagements are flat-fee monthly, scoped to your company's pace.
