Outside GC is a new and innovative approach to legal services for growing businesses. Outside GC places a senior-level attorney with clients to act as part-time in-house counsel. Outside GC clients get the legal expertise they need in the form of a part-time member of the executive team, at a fraction of the cost of either hiring a full-time executive level general counsel or relying exclusively on law firm counsel. Outside GC attorneys understand your business issues, because we are a part of your business.

For companies with no in-house legal staff, we act as the executive who handles the legal function in your company (a role often played by the CEO or CFO in the absence of a general counsel). We perform day-to-day legal work and manage the legal services provided by outside counsel.

For companies that have a general counsel or in-house staff, we act as overflow attorneys, capable of being an extension of the general counsel, at a substantially lower cost than a traditional law firm, and without the need for supervision required by “contract” attorneys.

Outside GC attorneys handle the day-to-day legal matters of a business, including:

• Contracts and Leases
• Stock Option Plans
• Employment Matters
• Trademark, Copyright, Trade Secret Protection
• Corporate Governance
• Risk Management - Policies and Procedures
