About Denice Gierach

Gierach Law supports successful growth-oriented business owners in addressing and removing impediments to their growth by identifying, mitigating, and eliminating known and unknown risk f••••••••@gierachlawfirm.com Outsourced General Counsel The Gierach Law Outsourced General Counsel program is designed for midmarket companies with a desire to grow. We eliminate the risks our clients encounter across all departments, from regulatory authorities to property issues to HR concerns, so they can concentrate on the growth of their businesses.Your company may have a number of lawyers, all of whom are handling different “fires” (in fact, the only time that you hire a lawyer is to put one out!). None of them know that you are using the others for different purposes. Each of them is doing only the task that they have been given. There is no one to oversee their work product and efficiency, except sometimes the CFO, who may not know how to judge that efficiently. Worse yet, no one is looking at the big picture. While your existing attorney may appear to be performing adequately, we are able to uncover threats to your business that have not yet presented themselves, and warn you about them proactively.Right now, with all of those attorneys charging hourly, you may not know what your monthly legal cost is. This is not the case with our outsourced general counsel program. Gierach Law is uniquely experienced in manufacturing, from working in a manufacturing company, to having represented numerous manufacturers for the lifetime of the companies, to knowing the tax impact of issues as a CPA. We perform a unique risk analysis and ensure that industry experts are brought on board depending on the nature of the risks. This includes people who have run manufacturing companies in the past, or persons with expertise in insurance, leadership skills, cyber issues, IT, EPA, other regulatory issues, brokers, as may be needed for your unique company.The resulting program is designed around your needs as informed by the results of your risk analysis; no two clients are the same.

Experience

   We are business owners first. In my background, I have been a part of a corrugated box company that was begun as a greenfield operation, as well as a real estate developer.
