How The Business Law Group’s General Counsel Package Can Benefit Your Business
As business owners, we understand the daily challenges that come with running a successful company. One of the most critical but often overlooked aspects of business management is ensuring that every decision aligns with the law. Unfortunately, many business owners hesitate to seek legal advice because of the uncertainty of traditional billing methods. At the Business Law Group, we created our unique General Counsel Package to solve this problem. As “The Chicago Business Lawyers®,” we are proud to offer this service to businesses throughout the greater Chicago area, giving you access to proactive, reliable, and cost-effective legal support when you need it most.
The Problem With Traditional Legal Services
Many business owners are only willing to contact their attorneys when it’s absolutely necessary. This hesitation often stems from two main concerns:
- Unpredictable Costs: Traditional legal services are billed hourly, which means every phone call, email, or consultation adds to your legal expenses. By the time you receive an invoice—often months later—it’s difficult to plan for the financial impact on your cash flow and bottom line.
- Delayed Legal Guidance: Because of these unpredictable costs, decision-makers sometimes avoid seeking advice until it’s too late. We’ve seen businesses end up in costly disputes that could have been prevented with timely legal counsel.
At the Business Law Group, we understand these frustrations and the real-world consequences they can have for your business. That’s why we developed our General Counsel Package, a flat-fee service that allows you to access the legal advice you need without worrying about financial uncertainty.
How Our General Counsel Package Works
Our General Counsel Package is designed to provide your business with the legal support it needs on an ongoing basis. This service includes a comprehensive suite of legal offerings tailored to your specific needs, all for a predictable flat monthly fee. We start by conducting a thorough consultation to learn about your business’s structure, challenges, and goals. Based on this analysis, we create a customized package that ensures you always have access to timely, practical legal advice.
With our General Counsel Package, you no longer have to hesitate before picking up the phone or sending an email to your attorney. Whether you’re reviewing a contract, addressing employment issues, or planning your next strategic move, you can consult us without worrying about additional charges. This proactive approach helps you make informed decisions, avoid costly disputes, and stay ahead of potential legal challenges.
Tailored For Your Business
We know that no two businesses are alike. That’s why our firm offers different levels of our General Counsel Package. Each General Counsel Package is customized to meet your specific needs. For example:
- Small Businesses: If you’re a smaller operation, you may need help with entity formation, compliance, or occasional contract review. Our package can scale to ensure you’re legally protected without overcommitting resources.
- Mid-Sized and Growing Businesses: For businesses experiencing growth, legal challenges often become more frequent and complex. Our package can include more robust services like employee policies, intellectual property management, and dispute resolution strategies.
Regardless of the size or industry of your business, we create a package that works for you.

The advantages of our General Counsel Package go beyond cost savings. Here’s why so many Chicago businesses trust the Business Law Group for ongoing legal support:
- Predictable Costs: With a flat monthly fee, your company can budget your legal expenses more effectively. This monthly fee will also eliminate the uncertainty of hourly billing and surprise invoices, giving you greater control over your financial planning.

Legal Compliance And Illinois Law
Our General Counsel Package also ensures that your business remains compliant with Illinois state and federal regulations. For example, businesses must adhere to laws such as:
- Illinois Business Corporation Act (805 ILCS 5/1 et seq.): Governs the formation, operation, and compliance of corporations.
- Illinois Freedom to Work Act (820 ILCS 90/1 et seq.): Regulates non-compete and restrictive covenants for employees.

Through our ongoing support, we help you navigate these regulations, avoid penalties, and maintain a strong legal standing.
