OUR SERVICES
Outside General Counsel

Outdoors Meeting

The reality is that many social impact organizations often don't hire their own in-house counsel and only use outside counsel sparingly. Yet, they acknowledge they would benefit from having dedicated legal counsel who can guide them through their day-to-day challenges, respond quickly to needs as they arise, and who truly understands their goals as an organization. We get that charging by the hour for outside GC services can run counter to establishing a long-term relationship. Thus, if you are interested in establishing a long-term relationship with legal counsel that gets you, we can discuss dynamic pricing structures that make sense for your organization's budget.

​

​As your outside GC, we can provide:​

  • On-demand, remote, and comprehensive in-house legal counsel services;

  • Strategic and practical advice to your leadership team to capitalize on operational opportunities to respond to environmental uncertainty and operational challenges;

  • Engagement and management of outside legal counsel and other consultants for bespoke and/or surge support;

  • Coordination and oversight of local legal issues, particularly in developing country contexts;

  • Engagement with local governments and multilateral organizations;

  • Particular expertise in navigating engagements with the U.S. government;

  • Guiding forming new partnerships, and advising on programming and operations to maximize localized impact;

  • Facilitation of diplomatic and negotiated resolution of disputes under international, U.S., and other national legal paradigms;

  • Strengthening your organizations’ pitches and requests-for-proposals (RFPs) for awards as either a prime or sub-awardee; and

  • In-house staff training on ethics, key regulations, and applicable laws.
