Recommendations from Former Colleagues

Scott, Director

I worked with Heather as a Director and found her to be highly organized, focused on solutions, and a quick study in new areas of law and governance practices. She was admired by myself and my co-directors for her legal, interpersonal and business skills. She contributed in many ways to the success of our business.

Warren, CFO

Scott, Director

Heather is fantastic to work with. She brings a high level of professionalism to every thing she touches and is usually the most prepared person in the room.

Dave, COO

Dave, COO

Heather has been a trusted advisor across a wide range of legal matters, consistently bringing clarity and sound judgment to every situation. Where she truly adds disproportionate value is in her ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, actionable discussion points that resonate with teams at all levels of expertise. Her blend of deep legal knowledge and practical communication makes her an invaluable partner to any organization.

Why Choose Extended Counsel?

We provide businesses with general commercial legal advice that is practical and efficient with transparent upfront pricing. To accommodate different business needs we offer affordable flat fee, subscription and hourly pricing models.

For companies without in-house counsel, we can:

Guide you through initial business phases by identifying legal risks and offering actionable solutions. We'll help you through the "I don't know what I don't know" phase.
Build your legal program and processes, such as reviewing contracts, preparing templates, developing playbooks and creating compliance programs. Don't wait until your first legal hire to start this work.

For companies with in-house counsel, we can:

Immediately support your legal team by handling overflow work, saving the time and costs of using a staffing company or handling a permanent hire.
Finally address those backlogged projects - updating contract templates, drafting new policies, and creating new streamlined processes.
Provide in-house experience that allows us to quickly get up to speed and work directly with your business persons if desired. Take yourself out of the loop so you can focus on other tasks.
