Why Outside General Counsel

The Smarter Alternative to
In-House Counsel

Most growing businesses need more than a law firm on speed dial — but aren't ready for a full-time GC. Outside General Counsel gives you senior-level legal coverage without the cost or commitment.

Traditional Law Firm

Reactive. Expensive.
Impersonal.

  • ✗High hourly rates billed in minimum increments
  • ✗Work handed to associates unfamiliar with your business
  • ✗Reactive — you call them when something breaks
  • ✗Different partners for different issues; no single relationship
  • ✗No institutional knowledge of your operations over time
  • ✗Legal advice divorced from business context

Our Edge

Why Consumer Product
Companies Choose Us

Most outside counsel can review a contract or advise on a dispute. What they can't do is walk into a conversation about your supplier relationships, import strategy, or lease negotiation with the kind of operational fluency that only comes from having run the business yourself.

Zander Brekke served as President of a leading consumer products company — overseeing legal, sales, distribution, compliance, and all aspects of day-to-day operations. That experience shapes every piece of legal and strategic advice this firm provides.

When you call us, you're not getting legal advice that has to be translated into business terms. You're getting counsel that starts in business terms.

🏢
Vendor & Supplier Relationships

We understand how manufacturer, sourcing agent, and logistics provider relationships actually work — and how to structure agreements that protect you when they don't.

📦
Import & Supply Chain Complexity

From tariff mitigation and first sale valuation to country-of-origin documentation and customs compliance — we've managed these issues from the inside.

🏪
Retail & Lease Dynamics

Commercial leases, distribution agreements, and retailer relationships carry specific risks that generic outside counsel often misses. We don't.

⚖
Compliance Landscape

Prop 65, ADA, FTC advertising rules, CPSC reporting — the compliance issues that hit consumer product companies most often are our most frequent engagements.

📈
Crisis & Turnaround Experience

Operational challenges, supply chain distress, cyberattacks — Zander has led businesses through crises and brings that experience to clients facing urgent, high-stakes situations.
