FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GENERAL COUNSEL SERVICES
What is general counsel for a business?
Corporate general counsel is an attorney or legal team that provides ongoing legal advice and services to a business, similar to an in-house lawyer but often outsourced. We support contracts, compliance, HR, governance, and more.
Do I need general counsel if I’m a small business?
Yes. Small businesses often face legal risks but don’t have the resources for an in-house attorney. Our corporate general counsel services give you affordable access to ongoing legal support when and where you need it.
What’s the difference between a corporate lawyer and general counsel?
A corporate lawyer may handle one-off legal matters. General counsel is more like having a legal advisor on call, consistently supporting your business across multiple areas.
Can you help with legal disputes?
We help businesses prevent, manage, and resolve disputes. If litigation becomes necessary, we either represent you directly or oversee litigation strategy on your behalf.
How do business general counsel services work?
We tailor our services to your needs. Some clients retain us monthly for ongoing legal support, while others contact us as needed for specific legal issues. Either way, we operate like your legal team.
