Marano Law P.C. provides outside general counsel services to business owners, executives, and closely held companies throughout New York. We serve as a long-term legal partner, delivering consistent guidance without the cost or structural burden of maintaining in-house counsel.

Why General Counsel Matters

In New York’s regulatory and commercial environment, legal issues rarely arise in isolation. Contracts, employment matters, compliance obligations, governance decisions, and operational risks often intersect and escalate quickly.

Ongoing general counsel helps identify risk early, remain current with New York law, and structure transactions and policies that support stability and growth. The result is fewer surprises, stronger controls, and informed decisions that protect operations and long-term value.

Benefits to Businesses

Proactive Risk Management
  • Regular involvement allows us to identify vulnerabilities early, clarify legal obligations, and align strategy with business objectives before issues escalate.
Trusted Point of Contact
  • Clients work directly with an experienced attorney who understands the business, its history, and its priorities, providing consistent, efficient, and context-driven guidance across legal matters.
Cost-Effective Access
  • We provide flexible engagement arrangements, including retainer-based and as-needed support, offering reliable guidance without the fixed overhead of maintaining an internal legal department.

Our Services

We emphasize practical business solutions and seek to avoid unnecessary complexity or litigation whenever possible. Our outside general counsel services are tailored to each client’s needs and may include:

  • Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements, vendor contracts, and strategic relationships
  • Ongoing guidance regarding operations, compliance, and risk management
  • Corporate governance, entity maintenance, and ownership matters
  • Employment and independent contractor agreements, workplace policies, and compliance
  • Early evaluation of disputes and development of resolution strategy
  • Coordination with accountants, insurers, and other professional advisors
