Flexible Legal & HR Services

Exceptional Quality

Experienced

Our partner-only model means our team of licensed attorneys have been carefully selected and rigorously trained, ensuring that you receive the best experience. The former in-house legal experience of our attorneys is what distinguishes them from traditional firm lawyers. Our partners have held positions at big law firms and in-house as either General Counsel or senior level legal executives. On average, our attorneys bring 15+ years of experience to our clients.

Efficient

Our attorneys are matched with clients based on previous legal and industry experience. They quickly develop an intimate working knowledge of our client’s operational and strategic goals and build trusting relationships with key stakeholders. As a result, we not only deliver legal solutions, but become valuable partners in your journey.

Flexible

Our legal services are tailored to meet the unique business needs of each client. While many of our start-up and growth stage clients desire a flexible GC arrangement to handle their day-to-day legal needs, our larger clients often need support on a project-basis or to fill knowledge gap on their team.

Transparent

With cost-saving business practices and tech-enabled operations, our business model is lean. Because our lawyers are not beholden to billable hour targets, they are focused on what matters most – delivering exceptional, value-driven legal services – to meet the particular needs of each client.

OUR PRACTICE

Let Us Counsel You

FRACTIONAL GENERAL COUNSEL & HR EXEC

At ADS Law, we provide fractional attorney services to SMEs, start-ups, non-profit organizations and small businesses. We have a dedicated team of experienced attorneys who are passionate about helping organizations achieve their goals, while minimizing legal risks. As a small or medium size business, there are certainly legal services you need from time to time but you may not have the budget for a full-time in-house lawyer. That’s where we come in. Ideally, we will become a part of your team and a close advisor but at a fraction of the cost of hiring an in-house lawyer. Our innovative approach to legal services means we work with our clients as a partner, not just as a service provider.

We offer a flat monthly fee that is transparent and predictable, so our clients can focus on what’s important -- running their organizations. With ADS Law Group, you will get a flat fee monthly rate so that there are no surprises with your legal services. You can call us as many times as you want, you will still only pay one monthly flat fee.
