Homer
Many years ago, when I (Joe Miller) was with the Williams Companies Legal Department, a retired attorney named Homer worked in our office 15 to 20 hours a week during the summer as an independent contractor. It helped keep the flow of work going during a time of year when most of us took a lot of vacation time. My colleagues and I provide a cost-effective way to achieve the same results. Like Homer:
Do you need more attorneys in your group but can't or don't want to bring on additional personnel? Our rates often are comparable to the fully loaded costs of non-managing in house counsel, making us the perfect temporary solution to workload concerns.
"[T]here is a growing body of legal work that simply won’t be sent to the most pedigreed law firms, most typically because general counsel are laser focused on value, namely quality and efficiency."
