When it comes to legal counsel for your business, you have choices.

Proctor Hutchins Porterfield is the right choice.

In this era of closely watched bottom lines, many businesses, from small start-ups to larger privately held companies, often choose not to hire in-house counsel. Instead, companies like yours generally face three options:

• You could hire counsel only when the need arises. In the short-term, this may help with costs. In the big picture, however, you would be represented by an attorney who knows virtually nothing about your company.

• You could choose to hire a large, full-service mega-law firm. Unfortunately, they will also ask you to pay their mega-fees.

• Or you could choose to use a small, competitively priced, yet highly capable firm to be your outside general legal counsel — a firm like Proctor Hutchins Porterfield.
