As senior in-house counsel, you know that day-to-day legal work should be handled by your in-house legal group. In fact, generally, the less work sent to the outside law firms the better. But when your team gets too stretched, because of work on a big deal, or because the business simply is growing beyond your existing capacity, your choices have been limited. You can hire a new person, which means adding to your headcount and having to train someone again. You can use a contract lawyer, but finding qualified lawyers with experience on a contract basis is hard. So you find yourself using outside law firms more than you would like.

Outside GC offers a new alternative. Comprised of senior business lawyers with substantial in-house experience, we can handle your overflow work at a fraction of the cost of law firm rates. You can hire us to be on site regularly, as a part-time extension of your in-house team, or you can count on us to help sporadically, at such times as the end of the quarter, or when other projects have stretched your internal resources.

Our attorneys have chosen Outside GC because we provide a combination of the stability and variety that law firm practice offers, with the flexibility and deep client relationships that our lawyers experienced in house. Our team has been carefully screened, both for their professional competence and for their desire to be a part of Outside GC long term. It is our desire to make our client relationships last, and to have our clients' investment in us pay off over an extended period. We have very low turnover and several of our attorneys have been with us since the firm’s inception.

In summary, when you need overflow help, we hope you will turn to us as an extension of your in-house group. Plug us in to handle day-to-day legal needs (contracts, employee matters, leases, IP protection, pre-litigation dispute resolution), or have us help with major projects (such as acquisition due diligence or integration) at a fraction of the cost of a traditional law firm. We'll help you keep your legal budget under control, while maintaining the excellence you demand of your in-house legal group.
