Outside GC

At Outside General Counsel, we're dedicated to providing innovative, business-minded legal services to help companies thrive. For over 20 years, we've partnered with businesses of all sizes and industries, offering tailored legal solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients. Our model connects former general counsels with small-to-medium sized companies without in-house legal support and with large enterprises seeking additional bench strength. With affordable rates and market-leading service, we offer a legal solution that works.

Our Approach

We understand that every business is unique, with its own set of challenges and goals. That's why we take a flexible and collaborative approach to legal services. Our experienced attorneys are matched with clients based on previous legal and industry experience, allowing them to quickly develop an intimate knowledge of our client's operational and strategic goals. They build trusting relationships with key stakeholders, becoming valuable partners to the companies they advise.

Our Team

Our team is comprised of partner-level attorneys who have all held either GC or senior in-house executive positions where they regularly advised the C-suite. With an average of 15+ years of legal experience, our attorneys bring a deep understanding of business operations and the ability to provide high-value legal counsel when and how our clients need it.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of services to meet the unique needs of each client. For smaller clients, we often serve as their de facto general counsel, providing critical advice on day-to-day issues as well as transactional support. For larger clients, we can support the existing in-house legal function by offering a specific legal skill-set, transaction-based support, or additional bench strength.

Our Philosophy

At OGC, we believe that delivering exceptional, value-driven legal services is not just about providing legal advice, but also about building long-term relationships with our clients. We're committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community, actively pursuing the recruitment, retention, and success of professionals from underrepresented backgrounds. Our unique business model removes many of the barriers that underrepresented attorneys face in traditional firms, allowing us to attract top-tier talent and deliver exceptional results for our clients.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be the nation's leader in providing business-minded general counsel services. We're committed to delivering exceptional corporate legal services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. We strive to be a valued partner to our clients, providing innovative, efficient, and responsive legal services that enable them to achieve their business goals.
