We recommend new clients begin their relationship with GeneralCounselWest by retaining us to do a Strategic Legal Review (SLR). An SLR can help identify opportunities for the company to strengthen its legal position. For a relatively modest fee, we will conduct a review of the company’s legal standing across the areas we mutually agree are important to your company, which could include:
- Entity Formation
- Corporate Formalities
- Employment Law Practices
- Legal Proceedings and Threats
- Government Regulations
- Material Business Practices
- Management Agreements
- Material Contracts and Commitments
- Marketing Materials
- Workflow and Templates for Customer and Supplier Agreements
- Planning for a Future IPO
While an SLR is not a guarantee that you are in full compliance with laws or that you won’t have legal issues down the road, it can certainly reduce the likelihood of incurring an expensive legal crisis in the future. Following our review, we sit down with the company’s senior management / board of directors and discuss the results of the review, collectively identify the most important areas of focus for the future, and begin developing a plan to address issues, all in an attorney-client privileged and confidential environment.
Testimonials
"I highly recommend Joe Schohl. Joe is a thoughtful business partner, not only an attorney with tremendous expertise and command of the legal matters. He is proactive and engaged fully in his work - he has provided a great amount of creative problem solving to our team in a very short amount of time. He is relentlessly focused on value creation and wastes no time. He has integrated seemlessly with our team and is a pleasure to work with on a personal level."
