We provide outside General Counsel (OGC) services for high growth businesses, handling a broad spectrum of legal, transactional and business matters, including general corporate, intellectual property, employment / labor, securities and finance, licensing, technology, contracting, regulatory, compliance, real estate and M&A matters.
Many small and medium sized high growth businesses cannot afford a full-time in-house Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel, but still require prompt and reliable legal advice at a predictable cost to reduce risk, review and negotiate contracts, manage deals, and generally support the company's legal function. Our OGC service plan meets these needs and mitigates risk, while providing budgetary certainty around legal spend.
We work closely with each client's management team to develop a tailored plan to provide prompt legal advice on an agreed range of topics on a fixed fee basis. To accomplish this, included as part of my OGC service plan, we invest substantial time throughout my engagement meeting with executive, management and departmental stakeholders to identify, evaluate and understand each OGC client's fundamental business model, products and services, culture and legal needs. Business stakeholders and team leaders will no longer have to put off discussing business context and legal risk with a lawyer to avoid starting the billable time meter.
