In-House Counsel/Retainer Program

Some business executives, particularly those leading small or emerging companies, would like an in-house lawyer on the management team to serve as a sounding board. They want someone who is familiar with the company, its personnel and culture. They don’t want to worry about the bill every time they ask a simple question. They want to spend less time managing legal issues and spend more time growing the business. They have plenty of legal needs but not enough to justify hiring a full-time attorney. Hiring The Law Office of Smith/Coonrod on a retainer permits the accurate budgeting for legal services and is generally less than what is typically spent on an outside counsel.

The benefits of the Smith/Coonrod business retainer program include affordability, ease in budgeting for legal services, prompt attention to legal needs, a network of contacts for related services and the establishment of a long-term relationship that will ease your companies growth to the next level and beyond.
