Independent Embedded Legal Counsel

There is a concerning but recurring trend: smaller private investment funds, family offices, start-up businesses, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals are often underrepresented from a legal standpoint.  This leads to less legal protection, increased risk exposure, poor investment decisions, and ultimately, potential unnecessary losses or missed opportunities. These firms and individuals often lack the resources or appreciation for in-house general counsel or sophisticated outside counsel, only realizing the true opportunity cost as adverse circumstances unfold.
