The Fortune 500 model

The world's largest companies do not rely on one lawyer. They run legal departments of dozens of specialists — corporate, commercial, employment, IP, regulatory, litigation — coordinated by a general counsel who leads the function.

That structure exists because complex businesses face complex, varied legal problems. One person simply cannot be expert in everything.

Now available at your scale

Burns & Co. GC brings that same structure to businesses that could never justify it. You get a general counsel to lead, and access to a deep bench of specialists to support — for a single, predictable fee that is a fraction of what one in-house hire would cost.

You are, in effect, getting a legal department of dozens of people, scaled intelligently to your needs and budget.

Capability without the cost

The result is genuine enterprise-grade legal capability, delivered at a price built for ambitious mid-market businesses. You get the depth of a large legal function without the headcount, the overhead, or the management burden.
