Outside General Counsel

Sophos assists companies that have a range of legal issues but no in-house attorney to manage legal operations.  By hiring an outside general counsel, clients have the benefit of a single point of contact for all legal matters and a readily-accessible legal advisor to senior management without the cost of a full-time employee and without having to worry about every contact with the attorney being billed. Further, a Sophos outside general counsel engagement can be custom tailored to meet the client's needs.

Typical arrangements include:

• All communication between the client and attorney, regardless of frequency or the time involved
• All matters related to a particular subject matter or project, such as corporate governance, contracts, or employment
• Full or part time service whereby the outside general counsel is onsite fulltime or a set number of days per week and handles all legal matters that arise during those times
