Looking For Outside General Counsel?

Last updated on January 11, 2021

Most business owners know that litigation, lawsuits, legal notices, subpoenas, demand letters and other legal problems are not exclusively limited to Fortune 500 companies. While larger companies have staffed departments to handle these legal issues, smaller business are left to rely on themselves or engage an attorney without fully understanding the risks, time and costs involved. As a result, many small businesses spend countless hours away from what they do best — running their businesses.
