CONTACTCompanies today face increasingly complex and difficult legal problems and risks. They also have important legal needs in connection with transactions and commercial relationships. It is usually unproductive and inefficient for a company’s executives to be responsible for managing its legal affairs without the support of in-house general counsel. Without an in-house general counsel, the company executives may find it difficult and distracting to determine:
Even if you have determined your company's need for legal representation and the priority of your company's legal projects, if your executives have to manage the company’s legal work without the support of an in-house counsel, the process and results are unnecessarily costly in terms of both legal fees and executive inefficiency.
YLM's mission is to convert the unmanaged legal work of its clients that do not have an in-house legal staff into a well-managed, controlled and budgeted part of the company's business without adding materially to, and even reducing, their legal expenses.
After practicing corporate, transactional, and international law for 30 years, including advising global companies, in New York, Los Angeles and Denver, John A. St. Clair founded Your Legal Manager, to provide “in-house” general counsel services to companies that do not have a general counsel.
Working alongside the company's executives, Your Legal Manager’s services are designed to add value to its clients, not to add fees on top of the company’s outside attorneys’ fees. Your Legal Manager provides strategic and operational benefits to its clients.
Companies ask Your Legal Manager®, “How would Your Legal Manager provide in-house counsel services to us?” In other words, “What specifically does Your Legal Manager do for its clients?” Those are appropriate questions. A company should not hire any law firm without asking, “What are you going to do? When will it be finished? How much will it cost?”
