gc360°, an entrepreneurial “concierge” law practice, is providing South Florida’s small and mid-sized companies with the opportunity to confidently outsource their legal services at a fraction of the cost of hiring large law firms or full-time general counsels.
Clients retain gc360° on pre-negotiated, heavily discounted fee arrangements to purchase fixed numbers of legal hours on a monthly basis. Each arrangement delineates “In-Scope Services,” covered by the fee arrangement, and “Out-of-Scope Services,” requiring extra time, attention and expertise, subject to additional fees.
“Small and mid-sized companies face a choice between spending their funds on growth and development, or investing in expensive professional services,” said Brent A. Friedman, principal of gc360°. “We offer an alternative to costly general-counsel-level services and believe in total transparency. Our clients know exactly what services they will receive and what they will cost with no surprises. This also helps them to even out their monthly cash flow and avoid unexpected spikes in monthly expenses.”
Based on his 30 years of professional experience, Friedman’s gc360° law practice offers a broad range of In-Scope Services that include:
- Corporate Services and Governance
- Corporate Finance
- Contracts, Licensing, Distribution and Related Transactions
- Intellectual Property Programs
- Employment Law
- Real Estate Transactions
gc360°’s billing rates range from $200 to $275 per hour, compared to the $450 to $600 per hour rates charged by South Florida’s major law firms, or the $250,000-a-year salary, plus benefits, of a full-time general counsel. Legal services can be purchased in blocks of 5 to 40 hours per month, depending on each client’s specific legal needs.
In addition to its low hourly rates, gc360° absorbs all routine expenses that law firms traditionally charge back to clients, including copying, faxing, postage, scanning, telephone charges and secretarial overtime.
Friedman began his legal career on Wall Street, representing major corporate clients at Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson, and Stroock Stroock & Lavan, two prestigious New York-based law firms. He subsequently served as general counsel and secretary of Eclipsys Corporation (NASDAQ: ECLP), a publicly held provider of health information technology.
Friedman most recently served as principal outside counsel to GE Healthcare IT and other Fortune 100 companies on complex contracting matters, and to banks and financial institutions on commercial restructuring and collection matters.
