Will Corporate Legal Partners attorneys replace my existing law firm relationships?

We do not seek to replace your outside law firm and encourage you to use a traditional law firm when addressing matters that require a particular area of expertise (i.e. a nuance of the tax code). However, because Corporate Legal Partners's attorneys are generalists and have extensive legal and business experience, many of the matters now sent to outside counsel can be handled by a Corporate Legal Partners attorney at very affordable rates.

How do Corporate Legal Partners fees compare to traditional law firm fees?

Our fees are substantially less than those of traditional large law firms. This is in large part due to the fact that we do not have the overhead expenses of a downtown law firm. What we know you will appreciate is that you won't find any costs associated with phones, faxes or photocopies in your legal billing statements. We just don't believe in passing these costs on to our clients.

How responsive are Corporate Legal Partners attorneys?

We are available to you when you need us. We will make sure that we address your legal issues in a timely and efficient manner. We are available via phone, fax, E-mail or face-to-face.

What is the difference between a Corporate Legal Partners attorney and a temporary attorney?

At Corporate Legal Partners we know what it means to be a part of the team. We look to establish long-term relationships with our clients. Where a temporary attorney is just that - a quick fix to address a legal matter - a Corporate Legal Partners attorney knows about your business and is able to issue-spot to prevent a legal question from becoming a legal problem.

How do Corporate Legal Partners attorneys differ from those of traditional law firms?

A Corporate Legal Partners attorney practices in many areas of the law - a true generalist who can effectively address issues from employment matters to import regulations to catalog copy review. Lawyers from traditional law firms tend to be experts in a particular area of the law and thus are most useful when providing their expertise for very fact-specific situations.

Are Corporate Legal Partners clients required to sign long-term contracts?

No. It is often difficult to foresee how long a particular matter will need legal attention. Accordingly, we understand the need for flexibility and offer several options to meet your requirements. Our ultimate goal, however, is to establish long term relationships with our clients.
