Two ways we work with you
An embedded legal team for your everyday transactional and business work, and a co-counsel model for litigation and specialized matters.
Attorneys who work as part of your business
An embedded BLG attorney works with your company the way an in-house lawyer would: learning your operations, your industry and your goals, and handling the transactional and business legal work as it comes up. You are assigned a mutually acceptable attorney in charge of your matters, who draws on other BLG attorneys and paralegals as needed.
We serve companies across many industries and at different stages of growth.
- Contracts, documents and other instruments
- Compliance and other legal advice, including handbooks and compliance documents
- Consulting on legal disputes and helping resolve them
- Supervising your other outside legal providers
- Other legal work as needed and requested
We manage litigation strategy alongside nationally recognized firms and litigators
When a matter calls for litigation or a specialized area of law, BLG acts as co-counsel with outside firms around the country. Your embedded team stays involved and manages the strategy, while the outside firm brings its trial or specialty experience.
How the fees work: you pay the specialty firm its fee, and BLG does not bill you separately for its co-counsel role. The specialty firm shares 20% of the fee it charges you with BLG, so BLG's share comes out of that firm's fee. This fee-sharing arrangement is disclosed in, and requires your written approval of, your engagement letter with that firm.
Where BLM fits

BLM works with your embedded BLG team and helps select and manage outside counsel. BLM clients in good standing are billed at BLG's partnered rates.
