Whether large or small, companies are faced with potential legal obstacles that require the knowledge of an attorney. The attorneys at Dorman Bell understand these challenges, and provide an alternative, cost-effective service to hiring in-house counsel. Our firm believes that a collaborative, team-based approach provides clients with the information and decision-making power to resolve legal issues that arise in daily operations. We will work closely with your management to custom tailor a general counsel plan based on your needs and the size of your business.
Clients choose our firm because our attorneys know that each client is different and requires special attention. The boutique setting of our law firm allows for every team member to have a unique, personal understanding of the needs of each client. By listening to the client and rendering sound counsel regarding all the options available, the attorneys at Dorman Bell are able to provide our clients with the intelligence necessary to make informed decisions without the burden or expense of hiring full-time legal counsel.
Every new, small business faces critical decisions every day. Many small businesses lack both the budget and the overall amount of legal work requiring the day-to-day attention of a committed general counsel. With offsite general counsel you get the best of both worlds by staying within a reasonable price point, but still receiving the maximum amount of experience. You save time and money by hiring an attorney that’s already familiar with your business without the cost of a general counsel on your payroll.
Dorman Bell has the ability to provide a contracted attorney on an as-needed basis. The amount of access given is flexible and generally predetermined by the needs of each individual business. For example, if your business routinely uses the same retail contract with the same seller for obtaining the same goods, you may only need access to the firm’s resources a few times a year. However, if your start-up is continuously negotiating deals with new and multiple parties, having access to offsite counsel on a daily or weekly basis may better serve your needs. Starting a successful business is stressful and requires a number of strategic decisions. When a key decision is being considered, alleviate your stress by obtaining your outside counsel’s expert advice before making anything final. Our attorneys will give you the peace of mind you deserve without depleting your budget.
Our outside general counsel service provides the same benefits of in-house counsel, with the flexibility of only using our firm when needed. In addition, we will work with your business to customize a fee plan that is cost effective and fits your budget. Our flexibility, affordability, and wide range of expertise provide an assured solution to any legal issue that may arise, which in turn, allows you to focus on your main priority of running a successful business. Let our attorneys positively impact your business plan by providing outside general counsel services.
