Q1. What is an “Outside General Counsel”?
An attorney who provides ongoing, on-call legal support—reviewing contracts, managing risk, and advising leadership—without the cost of a full-time hire.

Q2. How is this different from hiring a lawyer as needed?
An Outside General Counsel is proactive and integrated with your team, offering continuity and institutional knowledge instead of starting from scratch each time.

Q3. What types of issues can you handle?
Contract drafting and review, employment matters, risk management, compliance, and coordination of litigation or transactions.

Q4. How does pricing work?
Typically flat-fee or monthly packages based on scope. Transparent pricing keeps legal budgeting predictable.

Q5. Can you appear in court if needed?
Yes. Depending on the matter, your Outside General Counsel can represent you directly or coordinate specialized trial counsel.

Q6. Will you help us standardize our contracts?
Yes—creating templates and playbooks (e.g., MSAs, NDAs, vendor terms) is a core part of Outside General Counsel service.

Q7. We operate in both NJ and NY—does that matter?
No. We routinely advise clients across both jurisdictions and coordinate compliance for multi-state operations.

Q8. How do we get started?
We begin with an intake to understand your structure, contracts, and priorities, then outline a 30-60-90-day plan for implementation and ongoing support.
