Ongoing Business Legal Support

Ongoing business legal support — sometimes called outside general counsel — means having a lawyer who already knows your business on call for the legal questions that come up regularly, instead of starting from scratch with a new attorney every time something comes up. It covers things like reviewing contracts before you sign them, answering compliance and HR questions, flagging risk before it becomes a dispute, and generally acting as a sounding board as your business grows — without the cost of hiring a full-time in-house attorney.

Here’s how this typically works in New York:

1. We start with a conversation — learning your business, your structure, and where your biggest legal risks actually are.
2. You reach out whenever a contract, hire, or decision needs a legal read before you move forward.
3. Because we already have the context, reviews and answers come back fast — no re-explaining your business each time.
4. As your business grows, the relationship grows with it — from a single question to ongoing outside counsel.

• When legal questions are coming up more than once every few months
• As your business grows and takes on more contracts, vendors, or employees
• When you want a lawyer who already understands your business before a problem hits, not after
• If you're tired of re-explaining your business to a different attorney every time something comes up
• Before a decision — a new hire, a new contract, a new vendor relationship — rather than after it's already caused a problem
