Fifty people. Four law firms. No owner.
At this size you have plenty of lawyers. What you don't have is one person holding the whole picture.
One firm did the financing. Another holds the trademarks. A third answered an employment question back in 2024 and hasn't heard from you since. So advice comes back inconsistent, you pay to re-explain your context at the start of every new matter, and spend climbs while accountability doesn't. Then something cross-functional hits: a breach that is simultaneously a privacy issue, a contract issue, and a board disclosure. Nobody owns the call, and that's when the seams show.
Single-point accountability
One counsel owns the map: which firm does what, at what cost, on what deadline, and which work shouldn't be at a firm at all. We route it, manage it, and translate it back into plain terms. You stop being the switchboard.
The function, installed
Contract playbooks and a real intake process. Templates with named owners. Approval thresholds so deals stop queueing behind one signature. A record that answers questions instead of raising them. Contract cycle time is a revenue metric, and we treat it like one.
Beside your compliance team
If you already have a security or compliance lead, we're their legal counterpart rather than their replacement. They run the controls and the platform. We handle what you can safely represent to a customer, how the terms get negotiated, and whether you sign at all.
When you should just hire a GC
Some companies at this size should simply hire a general counsel. If that's you, we'll say so out loud, help you run the search, and hand over a working function on the day your hire walks in. The bridge is the product here, and we don't pretend it's the destination.
Fifteen minutes. No pitch.
You talk, we diagnose. You leave with the two or three exposures worth addressing first, along with a straight answer on whether you need counsel now, including "not yet."
