What makes Embedded Counsel different from other law firms?

**FAQ: What Makes Embedded Counsel’s Approach Unique?**

At Embedded Counsel, we take a distinctive approach to legal services, acting as your “outside” General Counsel or seamlessly integrating with your existing legal team. Our goal is to offer more than traditional legal representation; we strive to provide comprehensive, business-focused legal solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Dylan and John, the founders of Embedded Counsel, bring nearly two decades of combined in-house legal experience. Having worked together in leadership positions at two Boston-area software companies, they developed a deep understanding of the legal challenges that businesses face. This extensive background equips them to deliver legal services that go beyond addressing immediate legal issues—they offer strategic guidance to help your business thrive in an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment.

Unlike many law firms that operate on a transactional basis, Embedded Counsel’s approach is holistic. We focus on long-term relationships, becoming an integrated part of your business. As your “outside” General Counsel, we handle a wide range of legal matters, from commercial transactions and contracts to intellectual property and data privacy compliance. Whether we are advising on day-to-day operational matters or helping to shape long-term business strategy, our goal is to ensure that your legal needs are not just met, but aligned with your overall business objectives.

Our experience as in-house counsel for small to mid-sized businesses gives us a unique perspective. We understand the budget constraints and resource limitations these companies often face, which is why we offer flexible pricing models, including project-based flat fees and subscription plans. This approach provides clients with transparent, predictable costs, allowing them to better plan and manage their legal expenses. Of course, traditional hourly billing is also available for those who prefer it.

Beyond offering legal advice, Embedded Counsel is committed to helping clients make informed, intelligent business decisions. We provide strategic counsel that takes into account not only legal considerations but also business growth, risk management, and market opportunities. Our services are modeled after high-quality corporate legal departments, ensuring that we deliver the same level of expertise and dedication typically reserved for larger enterprises, but with a personal, client-centered focus.

By partnering with Embedded Counsel, your business benefits from experienced legal guidance that is proactive, strategic, and tailored to your specific needs.
