How Can We Help You?
Firm-client fit
Through experience we have found that we deliver the most value in two scenarios. In both, we combine legal rigor with real-world business judgment. We don't just identify issues, we help solve them.
Established small and mid-sized companies
These are 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, they 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. Early support for this type of client often includes playbook development, building a library of legal templates, and advising at the product development stage. We can also provide a clear-eyed assessment of your options for AI implementation and selection.
Larger enterprises with a focused need
These are much larger companies, potentially with billions in annual revenue, that have a specific and focused need — perhaps 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. Here, we lean on our experience managing significant workloads and meeting deadlines.
You will have our cell phone numbers, and you are welcome to call anytime.
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. The best engagements often start with a conversation.
