Needs of Emerging and Mid-Cap Companies.
The OGC Solutions model vs. An in-house general counsel or fixed-fee legal department
Emerging and mid-cap companies need effective legal counsel from lawyers who understand the minute details of their businesses, just as much as larger companies. A larger company often has the luxury of hiring a General Counsel or Chief Legal Officer to oversee its legal affairs from the inside while immersed in the business and functioning as part of the executive management team. A still larger company may hire other in-house lawyers to supplement the General Counsel’s work. In addition to being close to the business, an in-house legal team comes at a fixed cost that does not change during times of busy activity.
On the other hand, a smaller company’s volume of needed legal services is not large enough to justify hiring an in-house lawyer, let alone a team of lawyers. When its staff needs legal assistance, the company faces the traditional legal services model: hourly engagements with multiple law firms, with each hour multiplied by high hourly rates that range as high as $2,500 per hour at larger metropolitan firms. The high cost and variable nature of these legal services cause a smaller company’s management to avoid using lawyers in many cases in which a lawyer who knows the business could be a problem-solver and help minimize risk. Avoiding the use of lawyers often results in liabilities that could have been averted or controlled.
A smaller company essentially needs a “fraction” of a fixed-fee legal department. This is the OGC Solutions ® model.
