Rhema Law understands that the high cost of legal services has resulted in numerous lost opportunities for many small, fast-growth and/or mid-sized companies. A General Counsel provides a great benefit to companies because of their ability to oversee day to day legal issues internally whereby reducing the need for the company to retain more expensive outside attorneys/law firm. However, the costs associated in hiring a full time General counsel typically can be easily in the low to mid six figures, leaving access to such services beyond the reach of many businesses.
General Counsel services is a new breed of corporate services that was designed by Rhema Law to assists its clients with their business and corporate needs in a cost-efficient manner.
