Outside General Counsel
Most small businesses cannot afford to have their own in-house legal counsel, much less a dedicated legal department like larger corporations. Yet small and medium-sized businesses must nevertheless deal with many of the same legal issues as the large corporations. Businesses of any size must deal with employment, tax, real estate, legal compliance and a host of other legal issues. As outside general counsel, MendenFreiman provides a level of advice and assistance to keep companies in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations while guiding them through commercial transactions and seeing to their corporate governance needs.
