Q: How are GCL attorneys different from temporary attorneys?
A: GCL attorneys are all experienced lawyers with in-house counsel experience. You can be confident that we possess the knowledge, skills, and experience that allow us to step into your organization and fill any gaps in your legal department.
Q: Do I have to sign a long-term contract with the GCL?
A: No. Like any attorney, we are retained at the will of the client. We do, however, provide significant fee discounts for relationships intended to be long-term in nature.
Q: Do you fill in for attorneys on maternity, medical or other leave?
A: Yes! If you are looking to fill the shoes of someone on temporary leave - someone who can get up to speed fast keep things moving during that absence, we can help!
Q: If a particular project develops additional components along the way, can we keep our GCL attorney for a longer period of time, if necessary?
A: Sure. We are especially interested in long-term relationships, where we can develop the knowledge of the client's business and personnel, so we can make the most significant contribution.
Q: How do you handle billing?
A: Normally, we bill on a periodic basis (monthly or semimonthly) for services. We offer significant discounts for regularly scheduled work involving an "on-site presence"; because we can minimize overhead and realize scale economies, we can pass the savings on to clients in the form of reduced fees.
