Types of General Counsel Matters We Handle

Volpe Law LLC offers comprehensive general counsel services for entrepreneurs, business owners, and other commercial professionals. We offer fractional legal services for small business owners, represent outside enterprises seeking to do business in Colorado who need licensed Colorado counsel, and larger companies for specific projects or in collaboration with their in-house legal team. Our Colorado Springs general counsel provides these services and more.

Ongoing Legal Advisory Services

We provide day-to-day legal guidance to business owners and management teams on operational and strategic matters. These services are tailored to your business, and as your general counsel attorney, we develop the right strategies to help you reach your goals while avoiding legal risk.

Contract Drafting, Review, and Negotiation

Detailed and precise contractual agreements are essential to smooth business operations. We negotiate favorable contracts on your behalf with vendors, suppliers, business partners, investors, and other interested parties, draft the contract with all essential elements (including a dispute resolution clause), and revise your existing contracts for more favorable terms. We can also initiate contract enforcement if the other party breaches the contract.

Corporate Governance and Entity Compliance

We advise on corporate governance matters, including bylaws, operating agreements, shareholder issues, and board responsibilities. Part of our service includes drafting these critical operating documents. We can also perform compliance audits and offer risk assessments to help you avoid fines and other trouble.

Employment and Workforce Counseling

Our guidance helps protect employment rights and ensures businesses are compliant with federal and state employment guidelines, including EEOC regulations. We counsel businesses of all sizes on employment contracts, employee handbooks and policies, hiring practices, and workplace compliance.

Risk Management and Dispute Avoidance

Risk management and risk assessment help businesses avoid fines and other legal trouble. Our general counsel reviews your business operations from top to bottom, developing a bespoke risk assessment strategy and advising you of changes to be made. If a dispute arises, we strive to resolve it out of court or with minimal interruption to your business flow.

Business Transactions and Strategic Planning

Our attorneys partner with you to develop the right strategies to reach your business goals. We oversee mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and strategic partnerships. We can also negotiate on your behalf and draft all transaction documents, ensuring that your interests are protected. Strategic planning involves making the right expansion decisions without overexposure to risk.

Regulatory and Industry Compliance

Many industries have specific regulations (OSHA, SEC, EEOC, etc.) that they must abide by. Our Colorado Springs general counsel lawyer ensures that your operations comply with current laws and industry requirements, keeping you abreast of changes that could impact your business.

At Volpe Law LLC, we know that smaller businesses have the same legal needs as larger entities, but may not have the budget or need for a full-time attorney. Our fractional legal services are ideal for smaller enterprises and solo proprietors. We also partner with large national corporations and international business entities doing business in Colorado, as well as larger businesses that need legal assistance with a merger, acquisition, or other one-off project. Let’s get started. Contact our Colorado Springs general counsel lawyer today for a complimentary discovery call.
