An outsourced (or outside) legal counsel is an attorney who provides legal services to the business without the expense of employing a general counsel or adding an additional attorney to a busy legal department. Similar to an in-house counsel, Outsourced Legal Counsel can provide a wide range of legal work for a company depending on the company’s needs. Many businesses have legal issues that require attention but don’t seek legal advice because of the high legal fees associated with traditional law firms. Outsourced Legal Counsel provides an alternative to both traditional law firms and in-house counsel than enables business owners to easily access quality legal services at a reasonable rate and ensure that business decisions don’t create unexpected problems in the future.
Outsourced Legal Counsel is a progressive alternative or to traditional law firms for day to day legal work. Many companies find that traditional methods of retaining counsel for contract review, drafting and negotiation, and for general legal counsel, are not cost-effective because law firm overhead costs limit their flexibility in fee-setting. Outsourced Legal Counsel maintains low overhead, is available at your place of business or by phone, and focuses its attention on existing clients. Not only are hourly rates therefore significantly lower than that of a traditional law firm, but you receive pragmatic advice and quality legal services from an attorney who has served as in-house legal counsel, has hands on experience as part of a management team, and who will quickly develop an understanding of your business.

Outsourced Legal Counsel can step in to draft, review and negotiate a wide range of contracts on behalf of your company, including those for purchasing, procurement, services, engineering, leases, confidentiality and more.
