Outside General Counsel

As your company grows, legal questions come up weekly, but the volume rarely justifies a lawyer on salary. Fasthoff Law Firm serves as your outside general counsel, handling the contracts, disputes, and risk decisions you confront week to week for far less than the cost of an in-house hire.

In a given month, Hank reviews and negotiates the contracts you have to sign, prosecutes or defends your disputes, resolves an employment question before it hardens into a claim, and protects the trademarks, content, and data your business depends on, along with general advice as you need it. When a matter calls for a specialist in a field he doesn't handle, Hank brings in tax, estate, insurance, or other counsel and manages them directly, so you keep one relationship instead of juggling several.

Because Hank already knows your contracts, your history, and your tolerance for risk, he can render advice quickly and in a way that fits your needs instead of starting from scratch with each new question. That continuity is what separates an outside general counsel from a lawyer retained one problem at a time, though he handles one-off matters too. The engagement scales as you grow, heavier during a financing or a product launch and lighter when things are quiet.

Hank has served as outside counsel to startups, to established companies, and to high net worth individuals managing their legal affairs, so you get a lawyer who already understands your business when a deadline or a dispute arrives. Every engagement works toward the same result, counsel a phone call away when you need to decide, instead of starting from ground zero.
