What do my clients say?

“Sheila has invested the time to get to know our business, and therefore can provide cost-effective services that are focused on what is most important to us. As an integrated member of our organization, she keeps our processes in line with legal developments in our industry in a way that outside counsel cannot. She is forward thinking and helps to keep our leadership team apprised of the future ramifications of our decisions. I will always be grateful to her for the emotional support she has provided me during those tense times all business leaders experience."

– John Vivadelli, President and CEO

Welcome

The In-House Advantage is a law firm that offers growing technology businesses the unique benefits that Fortune 500 firms get from in-house legal counsel – legal services at a fixed fee, integrated into the business process.

The firm first offered this innovative approach to providing legal counsel in 1996. The firm’s experience since then demonstrates that it can meet the needs of its clients for a fixed fee that keeps the cost of legal service in line with the value delivered.

This in-house legal service is designed especially for businesses that are dealing with commercial transactions such as contracts, intellectual property issues and business partnerships on a frequent basis but are not in need of a full-time in-house lawyer.

The In-House Advantage can be an excellent solution for businesses that:

Have outside legal counsel but need to find a more cost-effective way to meet
their core legal needs;
Handle transactions without the benefit of legal counsel because they fear that a law firm would provide documents that are not practical for their business or their customers;
Would like to have the benefit of a seasoned business and intellectual property lawyer – a tech lawyer - as part of their business team, but without adding staff;
Prefer not to use outside counsel for their most common business negotiations, but need to negotiate with big businesses or big law firms on a frequent basis and would like to have the tools to do that effectively.
Have in-house legal counsel and would like to expand the capacity of its in-house law department without adding full-time or permanent staff.
