What is Outsourced General Counsel?
Put simply, Outsourced General Counsel is an extension of your team. Outsourcing your General Counsel is an affordable yet highly effective way to manage the legal aspects of a business. Epiphany Law General Counsel services are ideal for small to mid-sized companies that want the convenience of in-house counsel. The service provides you with legal advice at your fingertips.
Rather than deal in a transactional model where you talk sporadically to your counsel and they may never fully understand your business, we get intimately engaged in your day-to-day operations. In-house attorneys are better able to uncover issues and proactively avoid problems but they are very expensive and lack the knowledge gained from working with many clients. Outsourced general counsel services solves the problem by providing a cost-effective way to have an experience closer to the in-house model while also getting a broader knowledge base.
Typically clients who utilize outsourced general counsel services develop a close relationship with one attorney but have access to all attorneys in the firm to handle specialized needs. The close relationship ensures priority service and the backing of the firm ensures broader expertise.
