OGC Solutions® Biography
OGC Solutions® is the Outside General Counsel™ for printers, packaging manufacturers, and their suppliers. Since 2009, OGC Solutions® has provided mid-cap companies with a Virtual Legal Department™ by offering strategic fixed-fee engagements, combining our expertise and deep industry knowledge to help clients manage risk and prosper.
Mid-cap companies need effective legal counsel just as much as larger corporations, and they deserve to partner with lawyers who understand their businesses. While a mid-cap company’s needs are generally not large enough to support an in-house legal team, the highly variable costs of working with law firms can cause the company’s leadership to avoid using lawyers altogether– which increases risk, uncertainty, and the potential for larger, more complex issues (and invoices!) later on.
To solve for these “fractional legal needs,” OGC Solutions® offers mid-cap companies the luxury of having a General Counsel to manage their legal affairs, seamlessly working with your executive team, at a fixed and predictable cost.
The OGC Solutions® model is unique and accomplishes this partnership in three critical ways: (1) as former in-house industry professionals, we know your business; (2) our roster of lawyers utilize their deep skill-sets and past experience to assist at every stage of your business’ growth ; and (3) we offer a true fixed-fee arrangement, catered specifically to a client’s day-to-day needs, with additional resources always at the ready for time-intensive matters such as litigation and large corporate transactions.
Since 2009, the OGC Solutions® model has helped printing-related companies succeed with the help of lawyers, acting as true trusted advisors. Our firm expertise continues to expand and today spans the gamut to include employment and labor issues; complex contract work; mergers and acquisitions; intellectual property; corporate immigration; and commercial real estate and environmental matters, to name only a few!
OGC Solutions® are flexible and scalable to meet your business needs on either a fixed-fee or hourly basis-- both of which you’ll find are only a fraction of those at other law firms thanks to best-in-class technology and staunch efficiencies, creating a winning formula of higher service levels, reduced costs, and tailored, business-focused advice for clients.
