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.
