ERIN AUSTIN

Independent General Counsel – Strategic Business Advisor

A business oriented, practical and bottom line approach to deal making and problem solving.

As an integrated member of your company’s senior staff, I will:

• Offer practical advice, not legal theories.
• Understand how much risk you accept and in what form.
• Devise creative solutions, rather than erect road blocks.
• Anticipate problems instead of just reacting to them.
• Negotiate with the goal of win-win outcomes.
• Be a deal maker, not a deal killer.

An independent general counsel provides the competitive advantages of having an in-house general counsel – intimate knowledge of your business, proactive legal advice, accurately budgeted legal expenses, as-needed availability and responsiveness – without the cost of hiring one full time.
