Wise Counsel in the Arena
WISE COUNSEL IN THE ARENA
Every decision your business makes, every day, involves a legal question.
And, whether you meant to or not, you hired a lawyer to assist with every decision.
Maybe your lawyer is a low-level manager with no one to call, the side of your Executive Team's desk, a high-priced legal specialist, or a Google search. (Or maybe it is just a wing and a prayer). But anyone making a decision without counsel, has become your General Counsel.
At Integritas, we provide your business the customized, strategic counsel that helps you achieve your goals without worrying along the way. You deserve an advisor that knows your business well enough to provide you with on-demand, timely, operational legal advice.
Who is Sitting Where your General Counsel Should Sit?
01.
Your Employees
Front-line Managers and Key Employees make most of your decisions. Are you sure they know how to handle an employee's complaint? Or talk to a government inspector? Do they know what to look for before signing a contract?
02.
Your Leadership Team
You didn't go into business because you loved business law. Neither did your leadership team. Just because they CAN manage some legal issues in addition to their traditional duties doesn't mean they want to, or should.
03.
Your Legal Specialists
When you get sued, or you need to form a new entity, or sign a new lease, you call a legal specialist. But how do you choose a specialist? And how do you ensure you are charged a fair rate?
04.
Lady Luck
Maybe trusting your gut has worked. And maybe it'll continue to work. Not everyone that violates the law gets into trouble. But, how confident are you that your luck will never change?
Advisors in the Arena
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt (1910)
