As former divisional general counsel and assistant general counsel at large public corporations, we are especially attuned to the distinct environment within which the general counsel's office functions. We appreciate the need to work well with professionals from the variety of disciplines that make up a company's management and operations teams, the expectations that such colleagues place on the internal legal staff, and the need to reduce legal issues to manageable dimensions for other management team members. We are familiar with the triage of legal issues for cost and risk control purposes, internal risk review and control functions, and day to day legal advisor functions that the office of the general counsel performs and that are essential to smooth and efficient company operations. We are accomplished in managing and "traffic copping" major law firms engaged with respect to large or complex transactions or litigation to ensure that such matters proceed efficiently and with due dispatch. Should it be desired, we are uniquely capable of augmenting and supporting in-house general counsel staff as needed and can discuss doing so under an alternative fee arrangement.
