Outside General Counsel

Outside General Counsel Services

We offer a full range of services to meet your business’s ongoing legal needs. Below are examples of the types of matters we handle:

Corporate Governance

Strong governance practices are critical to your business’s long-term success. We advise boards of directors, executive teams, and business owners on corporate governance matters, including structuring boards, drafting bylaws, and maintaining compliance with fiduciary obligations.

Regulatory Compliance

Navigating the ever-changing regulatory landscape can be challenging for businesses. We provide guidance on compliance with industry-specific regulations, employment laws, data privacy standards, and other legal requirements to minimize risks and avoid costly penalties.

Contract Review and Negotiation

Contracts are the backbone of any business. We assist with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide range of agreements, including vendor contracts, client agreements, service contracts, and more. Our goal is to ensure your contracts are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your business objectives. See more about our contract services here.

Risk Management

Proactively identifying and mitigating risks is a cornerstone of effective legal strategy. We work closely with your team to assess potential risks across your operations and implement strategies to reduce exposure and protect your bottom line.

Intellectual Property Protection

Your intellectual property is one of your most valuable assets. We provide guidance on protecting your trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets to ensure your competitive edge is secure. See more about our trademark-specific services here.

Business Transactions

When your business is ready to expand, restructure, or sell, we provide strategic counsel to support acquisitions, sales, and other transactions. We assist with due diligence, negotiating terms, and ensuring compliance throughout the process.
