Your booking-ready summary
This planning tool is educational only. Do not include confidential facts in the summary. It does not provide legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship.
What You Leave With
An honest read on where you stand
This is not a sales assessment. It is an actual opinion on your position, including when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
Your real options, in plain language
What you can do, what each path costs, and what the risk looks like on each one.
A clear next step
Something specific you can act on this week, whether or not you ever hire us.
What to Expect in Your Strategy Session
Your Session, Our Undivided Attention
Clear, practical guidance built around your legal or business situation. Direct answers, plain-language explanations of your options, and advice you can act on.
Before & During Your Session
We review whatever you send us beforehand, so the time is spent on your question rather than the background to it. During the session we work through your matter confidentially and clarify what you are actually trying to achieve.
Guaranteed Priority
A deposit reserves your session. It pays for the preparation (an attorney reading your contracts, demand letters, or suit papers before you arrive) which is what separates this from a free consultation where you spend the first twenty minutes explaining.
Risk-Free Guarantee
If you retain us, the deposit applies in full to your retainer. If you decide not to proceed and feel the session gave you no real value, tell us and we will refund it, in full or in part, depending on your feedback and the circumstances.
Choose the Session That Fits Your Needs
Every business is different. Whether you need a quick read on something immediate or a deeper look at where the company is heading, we will shape the conversation around it.
30-Minute Session ($200 deposit)
A focused conversation, ideal for a specific question or a first look at a situation. By phone or video.
1-Hour Session ($400 deposit)
A deeper examination of a more complex legal or business matter, with room to work through the detail. By phone, video, or in person at either office.
Is a Strategy Session Right for You?
A good fit if
You are weighing a decision (a contract, a hire, an offer, a partner going quiet). You have been served, or you are about to serve someone. Or you keep meaning to sort out the legal side of the business and have not.
Probably not the right fit if
You need family, bankruptcy, or criminal representation. We do not handle those, though we will help you find someone who does. Or you are looking for a free second opinion on work another firm is already doing.
Why Business Owners Choose Outside Chief Legal
We provide fractional general counsel for businesses that need ongoing legal support without the cost of a full-time hire. A strategy session is where that relationship starts, with over 200 years of combined boardroom and courtroom experience behind it.
Before You Book
Why is there a deposit when other firms offer free consultations?
Because this is not the same thing. A free consultation is usually a sales call where you spend the first twenty minutes explaining your situation to someone hearing it for the first time. The deposit pays for an attorney to read your documents before you arrive, so the session starts where a free consultation ends. And if you engage us, the deposit comes straight off your retainer.
Am I going to be pressured into a plan?
No. Plenty of sessions end with us telling someone they do not need ongoing counsel yet, or that their matter belongs with a different firm. We would rather be the people you call in two years than sell you something that does not fit now.
Is what I say in the session confidential?
Yes. The conversation is confidential, and that applies whether or not you go on to retain us.
What happens after the session?
Whatever makes sense. Sometimes a single project. Sometimes a Partner Plan. Sometimes we work together for a month or two before recommending anything, because we would rather see what you actually need. And sometimes nothing. You take the advice and go run your business.
