How Can We Help You?
Firm-client fit
Through experience we have found that for the most part we are able to provide maximum value for clients that fall into either of two groups, in terms of size and revenue.
Established small and mid-sized companies
Small but relatively well-established companies with annual revenue in the range of $1 million to the low hundreds of millions. These could be startups, but if so, would generally be past the initial stages of formation and capitalization.
In this case we would often be functioning as outside (or "fractional") general counsel — serving all or nearly all of the client's legal needs.
Larger enterprises with a focused need
Much larger companies (with potentially up to billions in annual revenue) for which there is a specific and focused need — potentially a discrete project that must be staffed quickly, a strategic deal or relationship, or a situation where the client needs overflow assistance for a defined period of time.
In this case we would be likely to serve a more limited or well-defined role such as procurement support, licensing, marketing legal review, or privacy compliance review. We could also function as lead outside counsel for a specific category of work, such as all commercial agreements.
Possible Roles
Outside general counsel ("fractional" general counsel) services
In this role, we function as your "go to," all-purpose law firm. Although the services we provide are legal in nature, we also draw on our combined several decades of experience in business partnering to provide strategic insights, business sense, and a reality check where needed.
Lead counsel for commercial transactions
We have extensive experience in this role, having served for many years in this function for several established and well-known corporations in the consumer services and technology industries.
Something else?
Of course, for every rule there are bound to be exceptions, so we welcome you to contact us even if your situation doesn't exactly match the ones described above.
