An outside general counsel retainer is an ongoing arrangement in which a law firm acts as a business’s legal resource on call. Instead of hiring a lawyer for each problem, the owner keeps one firm ready for contracts, partner issues, staff questions, leases, and property matters. KEW Legal offers this kind of support to business owners and investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida, with offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach. This page explains what a retainer covers, how it works, and when it makes more sense than handling each issue on its own.<\/p>\n

What an Outside General Counsel Retainer Is<\/h2>\n

A retainer is a standing relationship between a business and a law firm. The firm acts as outside counsel, so the business gets legal guidance without a full-time lawyer on payroll.<\/p>\n

The arrangement is ongoing, not a one-time project. It has a defined scope that names the kinds of matters the firm covers. The business can bring new questions to the firm as they come up.<\/p>\n

Matters outside the scope can be handled separately. For the broader service overview, read outside general counsel for businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
