Crabapple Legal offers expert, on-demand General Counsel services for entrepreneurs, start-ups and small to medium sized businesses.

The advice and guidance received from a General Counsel is critical to any business.  However, most early-stage companies cannot justify the expense of hiring an experienced in-house General Counsel.  As a result, young companies expecting partner-level advice often pay big-firm rates for less-experienced associates with little time to spend on non-institutional clients.  Worse, the early-stage client in need of partner-level advice often pays to train a large firm’s junior lawyers.

Early-stage companies need a lawyer who already possesses the comprehensive knowledge and substantial experience necessary to provide insightful advice on the wide-range of complex transactions and specialized legal issues unique to beginning-stage companies.
