Outside General Counsel Services
ElGuindy, Meyer & Koegel, APC (“EMK”) provides outside general counsel services to a diverse group of clients seeking the assistance of counsel with the flexibility to determine their own needs and requirements. Often, small or mid-size businesses require the infrequent need of legal counsel, whether it be for wage and hour advice, HR support, contract negotiation and review, program and corporate development, legal entity formation and maintenance, general legal advice, or even specialized trainings. Yet, these businesses do not have easy access to reputable and knowledgeable local counsel, who can provide such services at a reasonable rate, without incurring the significant fees that larger firms charge. Our clients also benefit from the long-term relationship we build through our representation – as we learn a client’s business, we gain institutional knowledge that can assist in our efficient review and response to requests, and we can often assist in flagging potential issues ahead of time, thus avoiding exposure down the road. Likewise, clients come to trust in EMK’s lawyers to provide realistic and timely feedback to everyday scenarios facing small businesses.
