We have seen a notable paradigm shift in today’s business environment for corporate, in-house attorneys. The corporate counsel plays a more versatile role than ever before. His or her role has evolved from a purely transactional guru to that of a thought leader intimately involved in the strategic direction of the organization. This evolution demands that such counsel become a valued strategic partner rather than a burden on the corporate bottom line.
Our General Counsel Partnership Program is designed to meet that demand with the emerging company and small business in mind. Many smaller companies feel they either cannot justify the overhead expense of in-house counsel or they do not see the value in having one involved in day-to-day business. Unfortunately both points of view may be misguided. Organizations operating without such strategic counsel are often disadvantaged. Indeed, a strategic counsel has a way of bringing out the best in the business’s leaders and extracting more value from its partners. The strategic counsel helps control legal costs, rather than expanding them through overpriced outside legal fees.
The value proposition is simple. We take a tailored approach in reviewing your business objectives, the competitive and regulatory landscape, and your comprehensive legal needs. We learn your business and design a program with a return on investment in mind. We build the business case for our general counsel partnership.
