  • Ramsey Chamie worked with me for the purchase of my business, and I kept him on for my home purchase as well. His follow through was prompt, meticulous, and he spoke to me in just the way I needed. I already have recommended his work to others and would not hesitate to do so again.

leave the legal work to us

With our general counsel services, we'll cover the staff and legal resources needed, so you'll pay a fraction of the cost of full-time in house counsel.

No more pouring over thousands of bloated LinkedIn profiles. Utilize us and save on the hiring process, including recruitment time and costs spent on advertising, and evaluating and interviewing candidates. You'll never have to read the words "facilitated" or "amplify" again.

Stop worrying about onboarding, retention, and employee satisfaction, including salaries, training, equity compensation, paid time off, payroll taxes, insurance, healthcare, retirement, fringe benefits, continuing education, software, hardware, supplies, travel, bar dues, rent, and support staff, among other expenses.

Letting someone go is never easy, so avoid the hassle and use our team. You can end this relationship at any time, saving yourself the headaches and money associated with terminating a professional relationship, including fees related to employment and unemployment claims.

Lowering Your Company’s Risk Profile and making your life easier.

We have a strong and growing team of efficiency-minded business and corporate attorneys, each of whom has at least 10+ years of experience, and each of whom has worked as in-house counsel or outside in-house counsel.
Experience

Our attorneys have served as in-house or outside in-house counsel for software, technology services, financial services, healthcare financing, biochemistry manufacturing and production, wine and alcohol production, footwear manufacturing, consumer products, automotive supply distributors, and other companies.

Availability

We're here work with you, however you want to work. Our attorneys collaborate every day to quickly address clients’ legal needs with the right resources and staff. We are easily accessible by phone, text, video, and can travel as necessary to meet in person. We're as comfortable in a brewery as we are in a boardroom, and happy to work in either one.

Trust

Things can get messy when you mix the law and personal relationships. Keep your company’s confidential information in the hands of trusted attorneys outside your organization who do not have day-to-day relationships with your employees. We have the legal knowledge to be your general counsel, without any unnecessary complications.

WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?

Email or call for an initial meeting. We will get back to you ASAP (likely in less than 24 hours) to talk about how we can help with your general counsel needs.

Once we’ve chatted, we can decide if we feel like a good fit for a trial project. If we hit it off, you can hire us for more additional projects. The more work we do together, and the better we get to know your processes, personalities, and working preferences, the more our efficiency scales.

You’ll likely wonder how you ever got by without us. But if you decide things aren’t working out, at any time, for any reason, you can decide to part ways. No hard feelings, and no complications.
