Outside General Counsel Services
Integrated Legal Department Support for Growing Businesses
Not every company needs a full-time in-house lawyer. But many companies need reliable legal guidance on a regular basis to help manage risk, move business forward, and respond quickly when issues arise.
At Hubbard Snitchler & Parzianello, we serve as Outside General Counsel for businesses that want ongoing legal support without the overhead of building an internal legal department. We act as an extension of your leadership team—providing practical, timely advice across our firm’s practice areas and helping you address legal issues as they arise in the ordinary course of business.
Whether your company is growing, managing a lean internal team, or simply wants a trusted legal advisor available on demand, our attorneys can provide the day-to-day counsel you need.
Practical Legal Advice When Your Business Needs It
Business leaders are often forced to make decisions quickly. Contracts need to be reviewed. Employment issues need attention. Disputes need to be assessed before they escalate. Strategic opportunities need legal input before time is lost.
Our Outside General Counsel services are designed for companies that need responsive, ongoing legal support from a team that understands how businesses operate. Rather than calling different lawyers for different issues, you can turn to one trusted firm that already knows your company, your objectives, and your industry.
We work with businesses in a proactive and practical way—helping management identify potential legal issues early, evaluate options, and take action efficiently.
What Our Outside General Counsel Services Can Include
Our attorneys can provide ongoing counsel and support in areas such as:
- Day-to-day legal advice for owners, executives, and management
- Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
- Vendor, customer, supply, and service agreements
- Employment agreements, executive compensation agreements, and independent contractor agreements
- Noncompetition, non-solicitation, nondisclosure, and confidentiality agreements
- Employee handbooks, workplace policies, and counseling on hiring, discipline, and termination
- Corporate governance, business planning, and internal documentation
- Entity formation, restructuring, and general business matters
- Risk management and preventive legal guidance
- Dispute evaluation and strategy before litigation begins
- Coordination of litigation or specialty legal matters when they arise
- Support for transactions, operational changes, and business growth initiatives
Because HSP offers counsel across multiple business-related practice areas, our Outside General Counsel clients benefit from broad-based support instead of narrow issue-by-issue advice. That means your company can access guidance on business law, employment law, business disputes, manufacturing and automotive matters, securities-related issues, and closely held business planning through one coordinated relationship. This fits HSP’s current practice-area mix and mirrors how the firm already presents proactive, cross-functional support to business clients.
If your business is looking for experienced legal guidance tailored to your objectives, contact Hubbard Snitchler & Parzianello to get started.
A Better Option for Companies Without In-House Counsel
Many businesses are too sophisticated to operate without regular legal guidance, but not at a stage where hiring full-time in-house counsel makes economic sense.
Our Outside General Counsel services are a strong fit for:
- Privately held companies
- Startups and emerging businesses
- Family-owned businesses
- Manufacturers, suppliers, and automotive-related companies
- Companies with growing workforces
- Businesses handling frequent contracts, employment decisions, or operational risk
- Ownership groups that need legal input on strategy, structure, and succession planning
For these businesses, having a legal partner available on demand can improve decision-making, reduce avoidable disputes, and create greater confidence at the management level.
More Than Reactive Legal Representation
Good legal counsel is not only about solving problems after they occur. It is also about helping businesses avoid unnecessary exposure and make informed decisions before issues become costly.
As Outside General Counsel, we help clients think ahead. We advise on legal risk, review developing issues, help structure internal processes, and provide guidance aligned with each client’s timing, priorities, and operational realities.
When urgent issues arise, we are available to respond. When long-term planning is needed, we help clients move strategically.
Why Businesses Choose HSP for Ongoing Counsel
Businesses that engage outside general counsel need more than technical legal knowledge. They need lawyers who are accessible, responsive, and able to deliver practical advice in real time.
HSP’s site already emphasizes the qualities that make this service offering credible: responsiveness, direct contact with main partners, industry familiarity, and relationship-driven service.
With Hubbard Snitchler & Parzianello, your business benefits from:

Our goal is to provide scalable legal counsel that meets your business where it is now—and continues to support it as it evolves.
Whether you need recurring legal guidance each month or a dependable legal team you can call as needed, HSP can build an Outside General Counsel relationship around your business.
