Our attorneys can work at your place
of business. We offer this special service to give progressive, successful
companies a virtual Law Department. This is like having an “in-house” attorney,
except on an independent contractor basis.
We will get to know your business
thoroughly and this will create better results. We are your law firm on-site and
will be highly dedicated to your needs. If you have steady, recurring legal
needs, this service may be for you.
This elite service will lessen your
overall legal costs (OLC) and give you better results and control at the same
time. You get the lawyer you need at a better value than a large law firm, and
he or she comes on-site! Imagine walking down the hall and getting immediate
legal help.
Having an in-house attorney is the
best way for companies to receive legal services. You will notice the difference
in results and services.
Credentials and Experience
All our attorneys have over 20 years
of business legal experience. Some have been General Counsel for public Fortune
500 companies and have started law departments for public companies. Our
attorneys are highly experienced in a broad number of legal areas.
We also provide ordinary law firm
representation and have represented public and private companies around the
world.
Get a Competitive Edge
This provides you with cost-effective
legal support similar to America’s largest companies. However, up until now,
small and mid-size companies could not finance this dedicated, on-site legal
support.
How it Works
We work from your offices on a
regularly agreed schedule (e.g., once per week). You pay only for the services
you use. We provide everything but the office space. This service gives you
expert inside counsel representation, but without the high fixed cost.
The Law Department MethodSM
Our service is based upon the Law
Department Method. The Law Department Method is a compilation of unique,
advantageous ways that law department lawyers provide services to their
companies. But, we provide this kind of service to private practice clients.
We feel this model is the optimal way
to provide legal services to every company.
Business Knowledge
By coming on-site, we will clearly know your business,
products and services, industry, strategies, competitors, goals, and financial
issues. This knowledge is critical to providing the best legal and business
recommendations.
Who can Benefit?
If you have significant outside legal fees, you may
benefit from our service. Growing companies and companies with Law Department
staffing shortages have also benefited from our services.
Differences with Other Methods
This service is unmatched in the marketplace. You will
have a law firm lawyer on-site. This attorney is not a solo practitioner. The
attorney is part of a team so you can get the benefit of other thinking for a
particularly difficult problem. Our firm specializes in the unique ways of
providing this service. As a pioneer of this service, CorpLaw is helping forge
the standards for this unique offering.
An in-house attorney is passionate about solving client
problems, creating legal recommendations which optimally achieve company goals,
and providing excellent service – all at a lower cost than an outside provider.
Having lower costs and better control is the same reason companies develop any
staff function.
Is This Right For Your Company?
CorpLaw Associates LLC can help you assess whether your company will benefit
from our services. We will assess all the ways in which you receive legal
services and compare those services to what you need. We will review your past
legal issues and costs and obtain the information necessary to make a
recommendation to you.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss
how CorpLaw Associates LLC can offer your business the extra advantages of our
On-Site Counsel or Project Services.
