What do you imagine when you think about the term “general counsel?” Big-whig lawyers in a high-rise office? The legal team of a major Fortune 500 company? Preposterously high retainers?
Chances are, as a small or mid-sized business owner, you’ve either assumed your company was not big enough to hire an in-house general counsel, or you’ve explored the possibility of hiring outside counsel and determined that the cost of both was well outside your budget. Well, you’re not alone.
Hiring an in-house counsel to handle the legal affairs of a small or mid-size business is typically not an affordable option for a small to mid-size company. Yet, the need to ensure you and your business are well protected is a reality and a necessity as you continue to grow your business.
Typically, small to mid-size businesses are forced to deal with legal challenges as they arise, rather than working to avoid them in the first place. They are forced to seek out attorneys who are unaware of the unique nuances and circumstances of the business, which results in a less-than-satisfactory, cookie-cutter solution – at a high price. Or, they move forward without any legal representation whatsoever. Neither of these scenarios is what you want for the business you’ve worked so hard to grow.
My General Counsel is all about building an on-going relationship with you and your team so that we may better understand everything that makes your business unique and effectively address your day-to-day legal needs as well as more severe concerns like impending litigation. All of this, however, without the exorbitant overhead of an in-house, full-time counsel.
My General Counsel provides a practical and business approach to legal representation. Our team is comprised of attorneys with extensive Big Law, government, in-house counsel and business experience, as well as entrepreneurial backgrounds. We use our experience to guide you and your business on your path to growth and further success.

My General Counsel offers you the security and peace of mind of having an attorney you can count on without having to worry about a ticking clock whenever you need advice.
