Outside General Counsel - GeneralCounselWest serves as outside general counsel for emerging and fast-growing companies. We provide broad-based counsel that is specifically tailored to helping you grow your company. When you have us on your team, you have a partner who invests in understanding your business operations, industry and people. We will help guide you at all stages of your company’s life cycle from formation through growth, maturity and even exit. When your company reaches a size and scope that necessitates full-time legal support, we can help you plan the structure and obtain the resources that are optimal for your unique situation.
Primary Care Attorney - Much like you would go to a physician who is a general practitioner to manage your overall physical health, we use our broad-based knowledge of legal issues and opportunities to serve as your primary resource for legal counsel. We practice preventative law to help our clients avoid expensive and time-consuming legal crises down the road. We also help spot and resolve problems when they do arise, and help identify and oversee the right outside law firm resources when a specialist or additional attorneys are needed.
Strategic Legal Review - Although many of our clients first hire us to deal with a specific matter, we recommend that new clients engage GeneralCounselWest to perform a Strategic Legal Review (SLR). Through an SLR, we can help you proactively identify, prioritize and address your most critical legal issues and opportunities to mitigate risk and create competitive advantage. more
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."
