Working with Your Legal Manager

Your Legal Manager Provides Expertise and Efficiency in Handling Your Legal Affairs

Your Legal Manager Supports Your General Counsel or Serves As Your Company’s Fractional General Counsel

If a company has more legal work than its in-house legal staff can effectively handle, or if a company is without a general counsel permanently or during a general counsel transition, Your Legal Manager’s mission is to convert the company’s unmanaged legal work into a well-managed, controlled and budgeted part of the company’s business, and to do so without materially increasing its legal expense.  To accomplish its mission, Your Legal Manager establishes a transparent working relationship with the company’s general counsel or executives so the company’s current legal needs can be identified and future needs predicted, with the goal of avoiding negative results and expensive surprises from unforeseen legal risks.

Your Legal Manager Identifies And Assesses Your Company’s Legal Needs

Together with a company’s executives or general counsel, Your Legal Manager evaluates and prioritizes each specific legal project to understand the company’s needs and the resources that are necessary to handle them.  Your Legal Manager then either performs the necessary services or oversees the law firms best suited to handle each legal need, determined solely from the company’s perspective and resources.  Your Legal Manager monitors and reports to the company’s general counsel or executives regarding the performance of the attorneys or law firms the company hires.  For companies without a general counsel, Your Legal Manager developed a ten-step company outline to working with Your Legal Manager.
