General Counsel Packages

General Counsel Packages

Business owners often think twice about contacting their attorneys, because they know they will be charged for every phone call, email or other communication, in addition to any substantive legal services.  This concern can frustrate business owners and other key decision makers, leading to them not getting the legal advice they need when they need it.

Another common concern for business owners when deciding whether to engage legal counsel is knowing that they will eventually receive an invoice for an unpredictable amount, which sometimes doesn’t arrive for several months after the services were performed.  That type of billing makes it nearly impossible to accurately plan for the expense, as well as its impact on cash flow and monthly/quarterly/annual bottom lines.  This concern also leads to business owners and other key decision makers not getting the legal advice they need when they need it.

Through our substantial experience in assisting clients with dispute resolution, we frequently encounter businesses that are in very poor legal positions because they failed to obtain legal advice prior to making a key decision.  If these businesses had got the legal advice they needed, when they needed it, they would have been in a much stronger legal position and possibly would have been able to avoid the dispute altogether.  Accordingly, their failure to obtain the legal advice they needed, prior to making the key decision, ultimately led to a much more costly legal expense and a poor legal position, both of which could have been avoided.

The Business Law Group offers unique, customized General Counsel Packages to our business clients, which provide a solution for each of the above-referenced concerns.  Our General Counsel Packages include a robust suite of legal services for a flat monthly fee, allowing business owners and other key decision-makers to get the legal advice they need, when they need it, while not having to worry about an unknown expense for the legal services rendered each month.

There are different levels of the General Counsel Package that we offer, depending on the specific needs of the business.  Prior to offering our General Counsel Package to clients, we conduct an initial consultation and detailed analysis of the business.  We use the specific details of each business to tailor a General Counsel Package that will meet its specific needs.

If you want to assure that your business is making and implementing informed legal decisions on a regular basis but don’t want to worry about being charged extra for every communication or unknown invoices arriving on an unknown basis, then contact the Business Law Group for a free consultation and let us build a General Counsel Package for your business.
