GENERAL COUNSEL SUPPORT

Banks & Associates meets the needs of busy CEOs and in-house attorneys by providing as-needed legal advice and support across the most important legal issues facing growing businesses.

THE NEEDS

WE MEET

  • IN-HOUSE COUNSEL SUPPORT
  • CEO ADVISORY

IN-HOUSE COUNSEL SUPPORT

 

In-house attorneys are often stretched to their limits handling contract administration, negotiations, advising business leaders, while managing a variety of tax and complaince issues.

 

Legal departments in medium-sized companies are often viewed as cost centers and typically lack adequate staffing to meet the present needs.

 

Chronic understaffing usually means that in-house attorneys are so focused on day-to-day issues that they are unable to demonstrate their true value in larger strategic issues.

 

We help busy in-house attorneys to focus on the essential strategic legal issues facing their business by providing as-needed legal support across a variety of legal practice areas.

CEO SUPPORT

 

Every CEO needs a trusted advisor. Businesses with sustained success have a CEO who is receiving the proper financial and legal support to execute a winning strategy.

 

Every decision that a CEO makes has the potential to lead to great success or massive failure.  In other words, CEO decisions are high risk decisions.

 

We remove the guesswork from the CEO decision-making process by providing sound advice that considers the most current legal and financial developments.

SERVICE AND QUALITY

 

We have been fully pleased with the high quality legal services that we have received from Banks & Associates over the past several years. Banks & Associates has demonstrated that their relationship with our business is real and runs deep.

 

M. Williams, Principal

MWH Public Relations, LLC

 

RELATIONSHIP FOCUS

 

We needed more than an attorney.  We needed a business partner.  A firm with the knowledge and expertise in the laws affecting a wholesale business with multi-state operations, but with the accessibility of in-house counsel.  The prior experience of their attorneys as CFO’s, accountants and finance professionals gave them the knowledge and experience to understand our business.  However, their relationship approach made all the difference.

 

E. Coombs, CEO

Eternal Interests Investments, LLC

 

DILIGENCE AND INTEGRITY

 

Banks & Associates handled my legal matters with integrity and respect.  Banks & Associates helped our business to re-acquire the equity stake of former business partners in an efficient and amicable manner.   Banks & Associates listened to our objectives and worked diligently to help us accomplish our goals.

 

S. Kavrie, CEO

TriRehab, LLC

 

VALUED PARTNER

 

As CEO, I encounter a wide range of legal issues in a highly regulated energy industry.  I need an advisor who understands my business and my needs.  Banks & Associates has proven to be the firm with the capabilities to handle our important legal needs, and treat our business with the trust and respect of a valued partner.
