ABOUT CIP COUNSEL LLC
CIP Counsel was founded on the principle of providing value-driven intellectual property and corporate legal services to both publicly-traded and privately-held companies. The minimization of overhead costs enables CIP to provide such services at cost-effective rates. In this manner, CIP serves as a flexible tool for companies to obtain legal counsel, whenever the need may arise, at in-house rates.
CIP Counsel provides flexible options in order to accommodate the specific legal requirements and budgets of each client. For instance, clients can choose from hourly, project based, or monthly fixed-fee arrangement options.
Small or start-up company clients have an affordable means to obtain general counsel services that otherwise could not support a full-time, in-house attorney. Often, many small companies can only justify obtaining legal services for extremely urgent matters due to high outside legal fees. However, this often creates a defensive legal strategy that merely attempts to solve issues only after they have manifested. Alternatively, ongoing access to legal counsel, without the fear of high fees, fosters an offensive legal strategy in which many potential problems may be avoided from the outset.
Large company clients have a lower cost option for addressing the changing needs of their legal departments. CIP Counsel can serve as an extension of the corporate legal department. The legal activities of a corporate legal department can fluctuate with numerous business activities. Sometimes, the fluctuations are predictably cyclical, such as year-end sales. Other times, there are one-time fluctuations such as special projects. In each of these cases, the demand for internal legal resources is temporary, so hiring an additional staff member is not an option. Budgetary restrictions can often exclude many external legal providers as a viable alternative. CIP Counsel provides a cost-effective solution to address the needs of the legal department at in-house rates. CIP Counsel can also provide services on a contractual basis to provide an affordable alternative to hiring additional employees for temporary projects.
CIP Counsel's cost-effective and flexible services help provide precise solutions for the legal needs of both large and small organizations.
