Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions are among the most complex decisions a business will face. As fractional general counsel, PartTimeAttorney.com focuses on transaction discipline—helping owners and management teams evaluate risk, structure deals intelligently, and avoid post-closing surprises.
We assist well before a letter of intent is signed, ensuring valuation assumptions, tax structure, governance implications, and integration issues are addressed early. Throughout the transaction, we act as the strategic owner of the legal process.
Litigation Management & Dispute Oversight
Litigation is a business risk, not just a legal event. Unmanaged disputes distract leadership, inflate costs, and distort decision-making. PartTimeAttorney.com provides general counsel–level oversight to ensure litigation strategy aligns with business objectives.
We help clients decide when to fight, when to settle, and how to control scope so disputes remain proportional to what is at stake. This oversight often reduces total legal spend even when matters are complex or recurring.
Tax & Employee Benefits
Tax and employee benefits issues sit at the intersection of law, finance, and operations. Rather than treating tax planning as an annual exercise, PartTimeAttorney.com integrates tax considerations into everyday business decisions.
This includes evaluating contracts, compensation structures, benefit plans, and transactions for both business-level and owner-level tax impact, with filing considerations addressed early to prevent surprises. Accounting and tax filing support is available through our separate company.
Corporate Governance
Good governance protects owners, directors, and management. As companies grow, informal practices often fail to keep pace with operational reality. Fractional general counsel ensures governance structures evolve alongside the business.
We help companies move from reactive governance to disciplined oversight—reducing exposure to disputes, lender issues, and investor conflict.
Employment & Workforce Strategy
People decisions are among the most common sources of legal risk. Classification errors, misaligned policies, and poorly structured compensation can create long-term exposure.
PartTimeAttorney.com provides practical workforce guidance that balances compliance with business needs, helping companies scale without unnecessary disruption.
Technology & Commercial Contracts
Contracts drive revenue, allocate risk, and define operational expectations. As a contracts lawyer and general counsel, PartTimeAttorney.com ensures agreements support the business rather than slow it down.
We focus on clarity, enforceability, and alignment with tax and financial realities—especially for technology, SaaS, and recurring-revenue businesses.
Estate Planning for Business Owners
For business owners, estate planning is inseparable from succession planning. Without coordination, unexpected events can destabilize operations and trigger unnecessary tax exposure.
PartTimeAttorney.com helps owners plan for continuity, liquidity, and long-term control by aligning estate planning with business structure, governance, and tax strategy.
