Robson & Robson LLC attorneys can act as executive level general counsel on a full or part-time basis on a fixed monthly retainer well below the cost of a traditional hourly rate law firm and without the overhead of adding a law department.  When acting in a general counsel capacity, our attorneys can work on-site at your office on a full or part-time basis.

Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of the legal and regulatory challenges you face and the experience to balance those considerations against business demands.  By developing an intimate appreciation for your company’s culture, way of doing business and appetite for risk, Robson & Robson LLC attorneys can proactively manage the health of your company.  Our general counsel clients use us as part of their senior management team, offering ongoing counsel to CEOs, CFOs, and other key management personnel.
