About
Extended Counsel LLC is a virtual law firm focused on providing outside general counsel services to B2B technology and professional services companies.
For companies without in-house counsel, we partner with them by:
- Guiding their early growth phases by spotting legal risks and providing clear, actionable solutions. We help companies move confidently through the “I don’t know what I don’t know” stage.
- Building their legal infrastructure from contract review and template creation to playbooks and compliance programs.
For legal departments that are stretched thin, we provide immediate, senior‑level support by:
- Handling overflow work instantly so deadlines stay on track and legal teams can stay focused on high‑value priorities.
- Clearing long‑standing backlogs like updating contract templates, drafting new policies, and building streamlined processes.
- Bringing true in‑house experience that allows us to integrate seamlessly into in-house teams, quickly getting up to speed, and working directly with business partners.
