General Counsel

Most entrepreneurs, small businesses and emerging companies cannot afford to have an in-house general counsel on the payroll full time, or in many cases, it simply does not make economic sense to have an attorney employed by the company. Many companies utilize one or several full service law firms on an “as needed” basis. The problem with this strategy is that by the time you get an attorney involved, it can be too late and your company may have already suffered significant damage. I have used the “outside general counsel” approach for many years with several of my clients, and it has worked tremendously well.

I start by building trusting relationships with my clients. I spend my own time getting to know your business and the industry you serve. I believe taking the time to understand your business is critical to effective legal representation.

My clients are encouraged to call me any time with a general question or to bounce an idea off me before investing too much of their time or money. If a client matter falls within one of my practice areas, I am able to assist them quickly and efficiently, because I know their business inside and out. Often I can handle just about any business matter my clients may face. However, when legal matters come up which are outside my areas of practice, my clients trust that I can introduce them to attorneys specializing in any particular field. I have developed a network of excellent attorneys in just about every area of practice. If necessary, I am able to get you the help you need by trusted professionals. I also can act as the point person in matters involving a variety of different legal issues, just like an in-house counsel would do for their company.

Representative Matters

Outside general counsel to growth companies, including a hotel management and development company, real estate development company, oil & gas exploration and drilling company, multimedia entertainment company and software company.
