Every company faces legal and compliance questions and issues, and most often senior management is left trying to either attempt to address the legal issue on their own or contact outside counsel and risk ending up with a large legal bill.
That is why CEO’s rely, more than ever, on having in-house counsel or on establishing a relationship with an experienced outside counsel for insightful, customized business advice. Whether you desire to engage Stall Legal on an as needed or a fractional general counsel basis, Stall Legal helps to effectively address legal and compliance issues, helps manage risk, allows management to take full advantage of business opportunities, while enabling your company to reach its overall goals.
Stall Legal provides a wide range of valuable services, including advising senior management on strategic matters, handling transactions and contracts, assisting with employment-related matters, managing risk and disputes, health care insurance coverage and disputes, insurance compliance and oversight, payor disputes and assuring that corporate governance and compliance issues are appropriately addressed. However, in-house counsel’s most important role and “value-add” is often in being able to identify and creatively address issues and risks before they become a problem.
Through our fractional general counsel program, a member of our team provides a dedicated number of hours or days per month to handling your company’s legal needs. We collaborate with you to develop a comprehensive plan to meet your company’s legal and compliance priorities. Under the program, we regularly interact with management and perform a significant portion of your company’s legal work, but we do not completely replace your company’s existing outside counsel. In the limited circumstances when outside counsel is engaged, Stall Legal will work with such counsel to maximize its effectiveness and efficiency in order to provide comprehensive, cost-effective solutions for your company.
The Stall Legal Team offers a flexible, cost-effective approach to meeting your team’s needs. Regardless of whether we are engaged on a as needed basis or through our fractional general counsel program, the Stall Legal team member will develop an in-depth understanding of your business and work seamlessly with your team. Serving as fractional general counsel, a Stall Legal team member will address your company’s legal needs with continuity and efficiency – all at a cost substantially less than law firm rates.
