What is an outsourced general counsel?
An outsourced general counsel is a legal professional or a team of lawyers who provide comprehensive legal services to businesses on a contract basis, rather than as full-time, in-house staff. This service allows companies to receive professional legal advice and support without the need for a permanent legal department.
