In-House Expertise | Outside General Counsel
Our more than 15 years of experience working as in-house business lawyers in both the EU and the U.S. puts us in an ideal position to understand and support our clients’ objectives.
We serve as acting Outside General Counsel to a number of small and medium size companies that require dedicated, in-house legal management and resources, but are not yet large enough to justify hiring a full-time in-house counsel.
We also provide supplemental help to established in-house legal departments of all sizes which need temporary additional resources on a part time basis to support their operations.
Your company is a start up or small to medium-size company. It has no in-house counsel, let alone an internal legal department. Yet, it has the need for general legal advice in support of its daily operations in the U.S., Canada and/or in the EU, often under foreign laws and in the local language.
Our dual qualification as lawyers in the U.S, Canada, and the EU allows us to navigate both the U.S. and the international legal and regulatory landscape and kill several birds with one stone!
We offer flexibility and give you options, while saving your company the need to hire local external counsel in the U.S., Canada, and the EU!
Your company is EU-based with operations in the U.S. It has no or a very limited number of in-house lawyers who are EU-based and only qualified to offer legal support under EU laws.
Your company needs temporary, part-time legal support from U.S. lawyers who are also EU-qualified and can therefore understand the company’s contracts under EU law before localizing, drafting and negotiating them in the U.S.
Our admission as lawyers in both the EU and the U.S., together with our many years of experience as in-house lawyers on both continents, allows us to bring the value add to your operations a U.S.-only lawyer cannot.
We offer the following benefits to our clients
- Cost Effectiveness: Through outsourcing, companies can significantly reduce their fixed costs, such as employee staff costs.
- Scalability: Companies can flexibly scale their operations on an as needed basis.
- Expertise: Specialist legal expertise and many years of professional experience at an affordable cost.
