How the Consulting General Counsel model works

Problem: You have a growing company with diverse legal needs. You know that having an experienced legal advisor on your team would help you achieve your business goals, but frankly, you're not ready for a full-time General Counsel.

Solution: For a fixed monthly retainer, William D. Elliott will serve your company as Consulting General Counsel, providing you ready access to a lifetime of business knowledge without the expense of a full-time salary. The retainer approach is based upon the principle of shared risks, unlike traditional hourly billing which places all of the responsibility for managing costs on the client.

"Because I limit my practice to a smaller number of clients, I'm able to develop an in-depth knowledge of your business," says William D. Elliott. "And most importantly, you can talk to me at any time, ensuring that you receive timely advice."
