In House Legal’s service model is based on “value added integration”. Most business owners and managers view legal costs as an externality, an opportunity cost, and an otherwise necessary evil. With proactive risk assessment and management that identifies and hedges against potential sources of loss, In House Legal can add value to the enterprise and make it more attractive to potential investors, strategic partners, joint ventures, vendors, and customers.
By investing efficiently and effectively in a bundle of legal services addressing the particular needs of your business – such as intellectual property protection, human resources management, transaction structuring – and decreasing the likelihood of a loss generating situation like a lawsuit or regulatory action, you conserve resources that can be reinvested in the business to help it grow and develop. That is value added.
Integration entails using In House Legal as an extension of your business based on what is most efficient and effective for your enterprise. It means access to an attorney when your business needs it without constantly worrying that you’re “on the clock”. It’s working with counsel that knows the details of how the business operates, the goals and concerns of owners and management, the relevant industry, and the risks and challenges the enterprise faces. Most importantly, it means collaboration, allowing us to become a part of your team to texture services to your company’s specific needs.
