About Us

Embedded Counsel brings nearly two decades of combined in-house legal experience to the table. Dylan and John, who have worked together at two Boston-area software companies, founded the firm with a deep understanding of the legal needs of businesses. John led the legal departments of both NetBrain and Labster, where he and Dylan managed legal matters, security, and IT functions. 

After years of collaboration, Dylan and John launched Embedded Counsel, a firm dedicated to corporate, business, commercial, intellectual property, and privacy law. The firm aims to be more than just an outside legal service; it strives to become an integrated part of clients’ teams. Acting as an “outside” General Counsel’s office or seamlessly integrating with existing legal teams, Embedded Counsel helps clients make informed business decisions while managing their legal needs. 

With experience as in-house counsel for small to medium-sized businesses, Embedded Counsel understands the challenges and goals of its clients. The firm offers a growth strategy modeled after high-quality corporate legal departments, focusing on project-based flat fees and subscription plans. This approach provides transparent and predictable pricing to better align with clients’ business needs. Traditional hourly services are also available when preferred. 

At Embedded Counsel, the goal is not just to provide legal advice but to help clients make smart, strategic business decisions.
