Mr. Haubiel spent 13 years as general counsel of a fortune 500, $5 billion retail organization. Almost all large corporations have a general counsel or an in-house staff that consists of attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff. The general counsel and other in-house attorneys are responsible for reviewing and handling the legal matters faced by the business, as well as hiring outside counsel to handle more specialized matters or matters located in another jurisdiction. This is a luxury many start up or smaller business may not be able or willing to afford. An outsourced general counsel is an attorney who provides legal services on an as needed or agreed upon basis to businesses, their owners and officers.
