On-Demand Legal Support for Your Business:
Outside General Counsel:
At North Colony Law Group, we offer a practical legal solution for small businesses—our “Legal Concierge” service. This gives business owners direct access to an experienced Massachusetts business attorney whenever legal questions arise. Think of it as having your own general counsel—without the high costs of an in-house legal team. Whether you’re dealing with contracts, compliance, employment matters, or risk management, we’re just a phone call away to provide trusted legal guidance.
A Smarter, More Efficient Approach
Our role as outside general counsel isn’t to replace litigation firms or specialized legal services like patents or SEC filings. Instead, we focus on your business’s day-to-day legal needs—from drafting and reviewing contracts to advising on HR issues and liability concerns. By taking a proactive approach, we help you stay ahead of legal challenges, minimize risk, and keep your business running smoothly—so you can focus on growth, not legal worries.
How Our Outside General Counsel Service Works
With our Outside General Counsel service, you get reliable legal support without the high costs of an in-house attorney. Here’s how it works:
- You sign a two-year agreement and pay a retainer, which acts as a prepaid legal service—it’s yours until we earn it.
- Anytime you need legal guidance—whether it’s reviewing contracts, drafting documents, handling collections, or managing employee issues—simply call or email your dedicated attorney.
- Each month, you’ll receive a detailed invoice showing the work completed and how much of your retainer has been used.
- Once your retainer is depleted, you can either switch to month-to-month billing at a higher hourly rate or renew your retainer to maintain a lower rate.
No Monthly Service Fees—Your Retainer Never Expires
Advantages for Your Business:
You get a priority phone number that gives you direct access to our attorneys. No more waiting for your attorney to get back to you.
We offer prepaid billing blocks to save you thousands on legal fees and make it easier for you to budget for your needs. Moreover, your rates are locked in for 2 years.
Be proactive and avoid costly litigation. It’s better to find out from your attorney that your business is not in compliance with the law, than find out when someone sues you.
We want to help your business grow and tailor our services to your current needs. Therefore, we offer a free quarterly meeting with your attorney to review your business needs.
Save salaries, retirement and employment taxes that are associated with keeping an attorney on staff.
We have been advising small businesses and corporations since 2001. Our attorneys have experience in all aspects of business, from contracts to human resources issues. No matter what business you’re in, we can help.
