GENERAL COUNSEL FOR SMALL BUSINESS

Many of your competitors, by virtue of their size, have the benefit of their own in house counsel to represent their interests and have the ability to unleash these counsel on businesses such as yours. Since you may not have the luxury of being able to hire your own full time in house counsel, you are at a distinct disadvantage.

The General Counsel Program for Small Businesses allows clients to properly budget their legal cost exposure and gives the client the security of having their attorney constantly available to keep them fully informed of the impact of the law and to keep their interests protected.

The General Counsel Program for Small Businesses allows you to retain this law firm to serve as your general counsel, keeps our firm on constant call, and allows you to set a budget for your legal costs. The program allows your business to set a number of hours that can be purchased in advance at discounted hourly rates that can be used throughout the year. You have the flexibility to select a plan that best serves your needs - from as little as 10 hours to as many as you wish. The more hours you chose, the higher discounted rate.
