You know you would benefit from having a business-minded lawyer who understands your company’s competitive landscape to help guide you on your company’s most important matters. Hiring an experienced general counsel full-time may not be practical for your company, but relying on traditional outside counsel often winds up being even more expensive.
GeneralCounselWest was formed to help emerging and fast-growing companies like yours benefit from having a strategic business lawyer on the team, without having to hire someone full-time. A lawyer who not only knows the laws relevant for your industry, but has spent the time developing a deep understanding of your business and who can be an effective advocate for your company in a variety of situations.
When you hire us to serve as your outside general counsel, you will have access to top-tier general counsel services, but on an as-needed basis without incurring a permanent addition to your overhead. You will be choosing to use our services on those projects that are most leveraged for your business and where we can make a value-added contribution far in excess of our cost.
