Outsourced General Counsel
Say “You’ll Be Hearing From My Lawyer!” and Mean It!
One of the most important decisions you can make when starting a small business is finding a trusted advisor. Someone who has been in your shoes and had to face the problems on your plate, able to ask you the tough questions and make sure you have the answers.
Most lawyers can’t even come close.
While many small business advisors know the legal aspects of what you need to do, the right forms to file and the right taxes to pay, they are taking a stab in the dark when it comes to advising you on the best way to actually go about other aspects of a startup. Our small business consulting team started first as entrepreneurs ourselves, building our own small businesses from the ground up and advising others when they needed it. This is what we do best, and we are here to provide it to you.
Combine the trusted advisor you want with the small business lawyer you need, and get a partner in this new venture that will be there when you need us. With all of the dedication of an in-house general counsel at a fraction of the cost, our small business advising is one-of-a-kind in our field.
