Is there a secret to controlling legal risks in business?
You know your business has legal issues. You know that an experienced business or intellectual property attorney can help you for a price. But,
- Do you really want to manage expensive and time-consuming legal projects? Aren’t there better things you could be doing for your business?
- Can you find the right attorney for the right project at the right price? Do you know how to source and qualify attorneys, then manage them to keep them on task and within budget?
- Are there other issues, greater risks, or better mitigation strategies? Do you have a legal strategy that supports your business or are you just fighting fires?
I don’t want your legal work. I don’t have the time or staffing to do it and there are specialists who can do it better. But for a small number of high-growth companies, I am their Patent Strategist, Portfolio Manager, or Virtual General Counsel. My job is to make sure the right work is done for the right price and with the right business objective. More importantly, I will protect you from the time and distraction of managing too many lawyers.
