PART-TIME COUNSEL PROGRAM

 

Attn:  Private and Public Company Business Owners

Control and Reduce Your Legal Fees by Using Our Part-Time In-house Counsel Program

Since 1994 we have served as In-House Counsel for four Orange County, California based public companies, which have been on the American Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.  For these firms we have handled certain matters which include their 1933 Securities Act Filings and 1934 Securities Exchange Act Reporting and Corporate Governance/Sarbanes Oxley Compliance.  We also provide services in the areas of litigation, real estate transactions, financings, employment law, intellectual property and general contract and international legal issues (export/import, compliance and transaction services).

     

  • Endologix, Inc. (NASDAQ) - international medical device maker
  • MAI Systems Corporation (AMEX) - international software company
  • Bridge Technology (NASDAQ) - international high tech company
  • Saba Petroleum Company (AMEX) - international energy company

For the following private companies we have also handled their legal work as in-house counsel:

  • Colton Properties, Irvine, CA (national real estate firm)
  • RK Properties, Long Beach, CA (national real estate firm)

Our Part-Time Counsel Program may be provided on-site through regular daily or weekly visits where we work out of our client’s offices with the senior management teams and develop a familiarity with the clients' businesses.

We typically provide between 20 to 50 hours of legal services per month, or the equivalent of one to three days per week, on premises.  The billing rate is reduced 25-40% from our standard rate in exchange for a retainer commitment and we work as independent contractors, with no fringe benefits.  Additionally, we are available for  “project” or “overflow” work.  This arrangement is not meant to replace your outside counsel, but simply to reduce your reliance on their staff at rates that are often two to three times what we charge.
