The General Counsel, Ltd. (GCL), is a unique kind of law firm - a firm of experienced in-house attorneys providing outsourced, 'in-house' counsel services to business clients at affordable rates. Located in the Twin Cities, we provide clients the best features of three different service options - in-house counsel, outside counsel, and temporary attorneys - and thereby deliver high-quality, flexible services on a cost-effective basis. Our service areas include: Outsourced In-House Counsel, Supplemental In-house Counsel, Industry or Subject Matter Expert, and Attorney Plus Services.

For companies without a legal department, our experienced attorneys can serve as an affordable and accessible part-time in-house counsel. Making regular visits or working on company premises, GCL attorneys can help manage legal affairs so the management team can devote more time to the growth of the business.

For companies with an in-house staff, we add affordable capability and flexibility to existing legal staffing with no increase in employee headcount. The GCL can be of particular value handling special projects - especially those important, longer-term and preventive law projects that always seem to get bypassed for other more time-sensitive matters.

Since 1985, we have provided pragmatic legal solutions that help our clients grow and flourish.
