In today’s dynamic business environment, companies irrespective of their size, face increased legal, compliance, and regulatory challenges. Larger companies typically meet these challenges by employing an in-house general counsel – an attorney (or group of attorneys) employed full-time – to provide legal support and guidance to the company. However, for many businesses, this may not be a viable option.
The cost of hiring full-time, in-house attorneys/ lawyers to provide advice regarding entity formations, transactions, corporate governance, employment matters, dispute avoidance and resolution, regulatory compliance checklists, and other legal matters may simply be too high. At the same time, companies may also find that engaging a law firm on an hourly basis is not the best solution, as legal fees can escalate quickly.
