OUR SERVICES

Today’s dynamic cannabis business climate grows more complex each day—and having expert legal counsel has never been more critical. As a full-service and cannabis and hemp business-savvy law firm, we offer strategic legal advice and a wide range of transactional services that can help you reach the next level of success and profitability.

General Counsel: Adding Critical Value to Your Management Team

In today’s economic times, CEOs of emerging and mid-sized companies simply can’t afford to incur unanticipated risks or see poorly structured companies, intellectual property, contracts or general business transactions erode hard-earned company profits. That’s one of the many reasons your management team should include an experienced, proactive General Counsel.

Serving as an inside legal expert, a General Counsel is more keenly attuned to your industry, business operations, strategy and new product opportunities than outside law firm attorneys who are not accustomed to being on-site or serving as hands-on members of the business unit. As a result, a General Counsel has the ability to devise action plans, engage in timely and decisive risk-prevention strategies, and find solutions to legal problems creatively and cost-effectively.

WINTER LLP attorneys are former in-house counsel. So, we get it. As such, we provide a full complement of outsourced General Counsel services to small-to-midsize companies. Whether your company is a start-up or well-established but reinventing itself, we can provide outsourced general counsel services, including corporate transactions, intellectual property, contract review and negotiation, employee-related matters and assistance with a wide range of business transactions.
