On-demand in-house legal counsel

Outside GC handles day-to-day legal matters, working as senior business attorneys on an on-demand basis at a fraction of the cost of either hiring a full-time executive-level general counsel or relying exclusively on law firm counsel. Clients typically develop a working relationship with one Outside GC lawyer but have access to the whole team for specific practice areas. Contact us to speak to one of our on-demand attorneys.

PATENTS & TRADEMARKS

Our sister firm, Patent GC (www.patentgc.com) is a great fit for many of our clients. Like Outside GC, Patent GC is a partner-only firm, and is comprised exclusively of former senior in-house IP counsel. Patent GC handles patent and trademark prosecution work, but also performs portfolio management services on a fixed-fee basis, and can even serve as a company’ s part-time in-house IP counsel.
