Navigate day-to-day risk and build long-term value with a trusted legal partner by your side. At Viridis Law, we provide Fractional General Counsel services, building a lasting relationship and working as part of your team to provide the legal guidance every business must have to succeed. Coupled with strategic Business Succession Planning, our approach uniquely positions us to help protect your business for growth today and build a lasting legacy that continues support your family and employees when you’re unable to be there.
OUR APPROACH
A Unique Legal Advisor
Most business counsel merely react to problems, showing up when there is a contract to review or a crisis to fix. Unless they are part of an in-house team, hired by you with all the expense associated with your other employees, they don’t have the relationship with the business to provide proactive, strategic legal counsel. At Viridis Law, we have a different approach. As a Fractional General Counsel, we take pride in building long-term relationships with our clients- the type of relationship necessary to gain the institutional knowledge that allows us to be a part of your team, on demand, whenever you need it.
You deserve a trusted, consistent advisor. That’s why, at Viridis Law, we get to know your business intimately, so we can protect your unique vision and help ensure it continues to support you and your family long into the future. We act as your embedded partner, safeguarding your company through all its stages of growth.
By blending the strategic foresight of a Fractional General Counsel with the long-term vision of a Business Succession Planner, Viridis Law can serve as your life’s ultimate growth and legacy partner, helping you protect your business and the people closest to you.

BUSINESS SUCCESSION PLANNING
Protect the Business You Built
Think of business succession planning as a safeguard for your company’s future. When your business lacks a clear roadmap for succession, it depends too much on current management and risks operational and financial chaos. To protect your hard work and legacy, Viridis Law can help you develop a proactive strategy to ensure your business lives on, even when you can be there to run it, allowing your business to continue supporting your family and increasing your chances of a successful exit.

FAQ
Business Counsel Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to our most commonly asked questions.
We already have an accountant, insurance advisor, and other professionals. Where does business counsel fit?
Successful businesses often rely on a team of trusted advisors, and legal counsel is one part of that team.
Business decisions rarely fit neatly into a single category. A decision may involve legal, tax, financial, insurance, and operational considerations at the same time. Viridis Law can work alongside your other advisors to help ensure the legal side of a decision supports your broader business objectives.
What should I look for in a business attorney?
Look for someone who doesn’t just say, “Don’t do it,” but says, “If you really want to do it, this is how it should be done,” and understands that running a business involves more than knowing what the law says. Your attorney should understand your goals, explain risks in plain language, recognize the practical consequences of different options, and help you find solutions that make sense for your business.
At Viridis Law, we strive to be more than the lawyer you call when something goes wrong. We want to be the trusted advisor you call when you're deciding what comes next.
When should I involve Viridis Law in a business decision?
Ideally, as soon as you question what to do.
It is easier—and less expensive—to structure a business arrangement, whether it’s the basic structure of the business, ownership, a transaction, or any other business relationship, correctly at the beginning than it is to fix after a dispute develops. Bringing us into the conversation from the start allows us to identify legal concerns while there is still time to address them without unnecessarily slowing down your business, which is why having a general counsel, like Viridis Law, is so important.
What types of business matters can Viridis Law help with?
Viridis Law provides counsel on many of the legal issues businesses encounter throughout their lifecycle, including business formation and structuring, contracts and negotiations, corporate governance, risk management, regulatory and compliance matters, private equity offerings, ownership issues, and business succession planning. When an issue requires specialized counsel outside our practice, we can also help identify and coordinate with the appropriate professionals and be the trusted advisor helping you see the bigger picture.
