Outside General Counsel

Having access to on-going legal advice from your outside general counsel who understands your business is invaluable. If you are running a startup or small company, you know that legal questions arise frequently and require answers quickly. However, operating an in-house legal department is rarely an effective solution unless you are a medium or large company. As your outside general counsel, Shestopalko Law can handle your legal issues while you focus on scaling your business. If your company already has an existing legal department, our attorneys are available to supplement your existing legal team with our extensive experience in our specialized practice areas.
