GENERAL COUNSEL

An outside general counsel is a non-employee attorney who acts as the legal representative of a business as needed. This attorney can help resolve current legal issues, and help to avoid foreseeable legal problems. Outside general counsel is ideal for many businesses because they often don’t require enough legal help to warrant a full time in-house attorney, but still need the legal foresight and protection a lawyer provides.

Businesses usually choose to utilize outside general counsel because it is a cost-effective option for legal representation, but there are other business advantages. In-house attorneys may become very familiar with the law as it relates to your business field, but will still require outside legal advice from a firm that handles cases in other areas of the law. This kind of diverse legal knowledge can only be gained by a legal team devoted to different practice areas and that handles dozens of different legal matters as well as litigation in Texas state and federal courts.

There are many reasons a company might choose a law firm like Ruby Berry Law Group, PLLC as their outside general counsel. Perhaps it doesn’t fit their needs to have full-time attorneys on staff. Perhaps the company doesn’t need 2,000 hours per year of legal services. Perhaps the in-house lawyers are appropriate for specific areas of operation but not matters where different or more specialized legal experience is required. Our team of business lawyers are well suited to find creative business solutions within your business structure to help avoid disputes and grow the company.

When you hire the Ruby Berry Law Group, PLLC, you will work directly with your attorney – not a paralegal and gain access to the infamous “Mr. Make It Go Away.” Your company may not need legal representation everyday, but when it does, you will have the full force of our litigators at your disposal.
