General Counsel
Introduction
If you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and have a problem, you have the benefit of asking your company's general counsel. Small and mid-sized businesses have many of the same problems but don't have the same resources. As a result, many business owners simply "wing it". Our unique and holistic approach to advising small and mid-sized businesses replicates the general counsel feel without a price tag of in-house counsel.
Examples
The Routine: It's 10:00 AM on Tuesday morning and you have just received a phone call from a potentially huge customer. They like your company and want to do business with you. They want you to fax them your contract as soon as possible. You say, "No problem". The problem is: you don't have a contract and have never needed one. For you, this is not a problem. You call us and we have a contract in your hands by the end of the day.
The Emergency: It's a 10:00 AM on Wednesday morning and you're opening your mail. You notice something from the EEOC and open it. It's a claim of discrimination and you have a deadline to respond. You're furious that someone would claim such a thing. Again, for you, this is not a problem. You send an e-mail to us and by 1:00 PM you have a web conference with your trusted attorney. By the end of the week, we have the facts in hand to properly respond.
Our Clients
Our clients include: multi-state manufacturers, energy companies, restaurants, trucking companies, farmers, machine shops, hospitals, nursing homes, jewelers, real estate developers, financial institutions, municipalities, sanitary districts, financial advisors, insurance companies, and just about every other industry you can imagine. What this broad range of industries should tell you is that almost every business needs legal counsel. The question is: do they get proactive holistic advice they need or do they hope for the best?
Services Provided
We strive to make the complex legal environment easy for our clients to understand. We provide holistic intelligent business solutions in the areas of: governance, daily operations, employment/labor, real estate, business mergers/acquisitions, succession issues, accounts receivables collection, contracts, taxation, general business counseling, and litigation/liability avoidance.
We also act as Illinois registered agent without charge for our business clients. While other firms charge several hundred dollars to simply act as registered agent, our firm does not. We only charge for preparation of the annual report and services for which we actually perform.
