In your best interests
In today’s dynamic regulatory environment, businesses are face numerous compliance and other regulatory challenges, irrespective of size and sector. Legal advise at every stage is indispensable. While larger companies often retain in-house counsel, smaller companies do not have this luxury. Larger companies, too, are now finding value in employing external counsel based on need, as engaging a law firm full-time or retaining in-house counsel can sometimes be expensive.

We provide Corporate Counsel services involving, but not limited to negotiating, drafting, and reviewing contracts, handling employment and immigration matters, managing corporate governance, risk management policies and procedure, privacy and data security. The role of the GC can be optimized to closely resemble that of a full-time counsel, including having an extension on your phone system, an email address on your internal email system, or membership in your management team.
The GC will handle day-to-day legal matters based on demand, at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full time in-house General Counsel or engaging a law firm, and will have the support of other lawyers at TLC for specific expertise. With previous experience as an in-houseCounsel and deep knowledge and experience in corporate matters, the GC will be in a position to competently and swiftly meet the needs of your company.
