At Modern In-House Legal Solutions, the goal is simple:  change the paradigm of corporate legal counsel to keep up with the needs of small and mid-sized businesses.

In the past, small and mid-sized businesses had essentially two options for corporate legal advice: hire an in-house general counsel and incur the salary and other overhead that a senior-level employee requires; or utilize the services of outside counsel and pay an hourly fee for each issue raised.  The problems with both of these models were obvious:  money.  Many companies simply could not afford the increased overhead of hiring an in-house attorney, but at the same time, seeking advice from an outside firm on every issue was untenably expensive when the monthly invoice arrived.

The result of these options was problematic:  companies were operating without legal advice on many small matters simply because the cost of advice was too high.  In the long run, any small decision could wind-up as a costly mistake, if the company’s rights are not properly protected.

At Modern In-House Legal Solutions, we aim to combine the benefits of an in-house counsel with the overhead savings of retaining an outside law firm.  Our approach is to agree upon a fixed monthly invoiced amount that will cover the in-house legal services that your company may utilize on a monthly basis.  The result allows our clients to seek advice on small matters that might not otherwise receive proper attention–helping management rest a little easier.  Our fee structure also allows us to attain a greater understanding of our client’s operations and personnel, all of which aids in efficient and effective legal services.
