- BC-150.10Legal AdvisoryGive the business timely, practical answers to legal questions — employment, commercial, regulatory, data — and make sure the risky ones reach counsel before, not after, the decision.
- BC-150.20Contracts & Commercial LawProduce contracts that protect the enterprise without stalling the deal — through templates, playbooks and negotiation support that make most agreements routine and reserve lawyers for the ones that are not.
- BC-150.30Intellectual PropertySecure rights over what the enterprise invents, names and creates, license them on terms that pay, and act when others use them without permission.
- BC-150.40Litigation & DisputesResolve claims by and against the enterprise — in court, arbitration or across a table — with preserved evidence, controlled cost and an outcome chosen rather than suffered.
- BC-150.50Corporate & Transactional LawExecute the legal side of transactions that change the enterprise — acquisitions, divestitures, financings and securities matters — so the deal that closes is the deal that was agreed.
- BC-150.60Legal OperationsRun the legal function as a managed service — matters tracked, outside counsel chosen and billed on purpose, knowledge reused — so legal spend and turnaround are predictable.
