Corporate Legal Departments
Managing Your Budget
In-house legal departments are continually asked to do more with less. The efficient use of Counsel On Call Attorneys is a great way for corporate legal departments to manage budgets and continue to receive superior legal services.
We are partners to some of the most successful companies and best legal departments in the country. For example, we work with 15 of the top 17 Fortune 500 companies in Atlanta — and many have been clients for several years.
To discuss what we can do for your corporate legal department, it's as simple as a phone call. Each Counsel On Call team member who works with our clients is a former practicing attorney who understands the issues you face and can discuss your needs and provide you with options of fulfilling them. These individuals work with one placement coordinator to select the Counsel On Call Attorneys who will work with you.
Counsel On Call Attorneys have the experience and talent to help handle an expanding array of needs. Below is a small sampling of projects Counsel On Call Attorneys have completed for corporate clients in the last 12 months:
