Overview
Overview
O’Hagan Meyer provides outsourced and general counsel services to businesses, financial institutions, nonprofit organizations, and employers across a wide range of industries. We serve as a trusted legal advisor, helping organizations manage risk, make informed decisions, and address legal issues efficiently without the need for a full-time, in-house legal department.
Our approach combines the perspective of in-house counsel with the resources of a national litigation firm. Many of our attorneys have served in in-house roles or as ongoing outside general counsel, giving us a clear understanding of how legal issues intersect with business operations, financial performance, and organizational strategy. We focus on delivering practical, timely advice that aligns with each client’s goals, budget, and risk tolerance.
We often act as a single point of accountability for legal matters—serving as a “legal quarterback” who brings consistency to strategy, oversees outside counsel, and ensures alignment across legal initiatives. This structure allows clients to avoid fragmented advice while maintaining a cohesive, business-oriented legal approach.
Our services are flexible and scalable. Clients may engage us on an ongoing basis as primary outside or fractional general counsel, to supplement existing in-house teams, or for discrete projects and high-priority matters. In each case, we work closely with leadership, human resources, and key stakeholders to provide integrated support across the organization.
Our Services Include
- Day-to-day business, legal, and compliance advice
- Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements, including technology, professional services, vendor, leasing, and outsourcing contracts
- Employment and personnel matters, including investigations, workplace policies, employee relations, and restrictive covenant issues
- Executive compensation and incentive arrangements
- Corporate governance, compliance, and risk management support
- Privacy, data security, and incident preparedness guidance
- Intellectual property protection, strategy, and enforcement
When disputes, investigations, or regulatory inquiries arise, clients benefit from immediate access to experienced trial lawyers who are prepared to step in and defend the organization. Our litigation experience informs our day-to-day counseling, allowing us to identify risks early and help clients avoid problems before they escalate.
We also assist with managing outside counsel, overseeing litigation and claims, and coordinating specialized expertise when needed. Throughout every engagement, we remain actively involved to ensure consistent communication, alignment with business objectives, and efficient resolution of legal issues.
Clients value our accessibility, responsiveness, and practical approach. Whether handling routine operational questions or guiding organizations through high-stakes challenges, we focus on helping clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
