Why Companies Choose My Outside General Counsel Services

When your business is scaling, you face legal questions daily—contracts, compliance, employment issues, risk, and negotiations. But hiring a full-time in-house attorney is expensive and unnecessary.

I provide companies across California with:

  • As-needed legal support
  • Monthly general counsel subscriptions
  • Project-based and transaction-specific services
  • No long-term commitments

You get the experience of a seasoned business attorney without the cost of a full-time hire.
