General Counsel on Retainer - Fractional Chief Legal Officer @Nss-Law

Los Angeles, CA, US

Peace of Mind - at a Predictable Price.The General Counsel’s role in the company is to manage legal needs and resources, identify and mitigate legal risk, reduce outside legal fees, serve as a trusted advisor, free up other executives to focus on their strategic objectives, and enable the company to drive revenue.If your business cannot afford, or does not need, a full time general counsel, you may retain Nancy as a “permanent, part-time” General Counsel. For a predicable monthly retainer, you will realize the benefits of a General Counsel, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee.Nancy also provides services on a project basis to companies in transition or experiencing a specific legal issue requiring expert management, such as significant litigation or a significant transaction.ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS. If you answer “yes” to any, you may need a General Counsel on Retainer: Is your company taking unnecessary legal, contractual or regulatory risks? Would you even know if it were? Has your company grown, and your systems and personnel had trouble keeping up? Do you have excessive and/or unpredictable legal fees? Are your expert outside counsel providing advice you cannot understand, or will have difficulty implementing because it is not practical or cost effective? Do you or your executives have better things to do besides handling legal issues? Would you like another smart person in the room as you are dealing with a new situation or challenge which has legal implications, but do not want to pay an hourly rate for that help?
