Businesses often need legal advice to help them avoid problems, monitor compliance, and to protect their rights and interests. Large companies often turn to in-house legal counsel for most of these issues. But what happens when you cannot afford a legal department? When you don’t have attorneys on staff, you turn to outside general counsel.
Instead of treating your business’s legal needs in an ad hoc manner or working with random or semi-random attorneys that may or may not fully understand the current legal matter you and your company are facing, you will be working with an experienced business lawyer that understands your business and its inherent limitations; one you can trust to fully understand the legal issues.
When you hire The Legal Boutique to act as your outside general counsel you will have a piece of mind that you have access to trusted legal counsel that you can rely on to be there when needed.
What is an
Outside General
Counsel?
Outside general counsel, or outside counsel, are lawyers you retain to advise you on critical issues that affect your business. They are not employees of your company. Instead they are independent service providers. You can think of them as outsourced lawyers. You avoid the costs of adding employees, but still have access to top legal talent when you need it.
Why Businesses Hire Outside Legal Counsel
Businesses hire outside legal counsel because it is a cost effective way to gain access to experienced skilled lawyers to help them avoid or resolve legal issues so they can focus on running the business and improving revenues. The most common reason a small to mid-sized business will hire an outside general counsel is to manage the business’ day-to-day common on-going legal matters. Larger companies that have in-house legal staff primarily hire outside legal counsel specialized legal projects or litigation.
