Corporate General Counsel Services

Fischer Law Office’s corporate general counsel services give you access to top-notch outside legal advice at any time without the high costs of an in-house attorney. As you might imagine, our advice and representation hinges on an in-depth relationship with your business and management team. By gaining that perspective, we can function as effective counselors, providing insight and consultation whenever and wherever your business intersects with the realm of law; and in matters that require a specialist, you won’t find a better Rolodex anywhere in Long Beach or throughout Southern California.

For you, the payoff from retaining Fischer Law Office comes in three key respects:

Added value to your business by both helping you group and more efficiently handle business and legal matters
Time and money savings, by allowing you to focus on your business while we handle the legal and compliance issues
Reduced liability exposure and improved risk management over the short and long haul

As corporate general counsel, we represent business entities, shareholders, members, managers, and directors in all types of transactions, including vendor agreements, client and customer agreements, mergers and acquisitions, property acquisitions and sales, employment compliance, and business disputes.

This service area also includes business succession planning. By preparing shareholder agreements to help manage your business and buy-sell agreements to preserve and maintain the ownership structure you desire, you can protect your company in the event that catastrophe arrives at the door. As part of your planning, we can structure employment agreements for executives, and confidentiality and proprietary information agreements that ensure your trade secrets remain secret.

In recent years, our corporate general counsel has represented clients in the following matters, among many others:

Numerous customer agreements for the sale of goods and services
The management buyout of a retiring shareholder by the company’s next generation of leaders
The creation of equity compensation agreements for key employees
