Outside General Counsel

Most growing companies don’t need a full-time in-house lawyer — they need someone who knows their business, can answer a question on short notice, and can step in as the legal complexity grows.

That’s what we do as outside general counsel. We serve as primary legal advisors to companies that want experienced counsel without the overhead of a full-time hire. We learn the business, understand the recurring issues, and proactively flag things that need attention — rather than waiting to be called when something’s already on fire.

When a matter requires specialized depth — a significant acquisition, a complex financing, a contentious dispute — you don’t need to find a new firm. We have the depth to handle it within Litwin Kach. For our outside GC clients, that means a trusted point of contact who knows your business and can bring in the right expertise.

WHAT WE HANDLE
  • Day-to-day business contracts (vendor, services, consulting, NDA, manufacturing, distribution, etc.)

  • Employment and independent contractor agreements

  • Restrictive covenant agreements

  • Equity plan administration and grants

  • Financing and loan document review

  • Commercial lease review

  • Website terms and privacy policies

  • Regulatory and compliance questions

  • Board and governance support

  • Coordination with specialist attorneys within the firm for certain specialized matters (data and privacy, trademarks, etc.)

WHO WE WORK WITH
  • Early-stage and growth-stage companies that don’t have in-house counsel
  • Companies with in-house teams that need additional capacity or specialized support
