The results we achieve are quantifiable, not only on a client's bottom line, but in areas like workflow, flexibility, protocol and collaboration. Whether it is one attorney working on a complex matter for just a few hours a week or a team of attorneys dedicated to assignments that last years, we generate results. Even on small matters, the cost savings are significant.

Because we do not fit into the traditional description of a staffing company or law firm, most of our clients choose to categorize Counsel On Call as a professional services company or as outside counsel. This allows the flexibility to engage our services from different budgetary pools.

Over the years, we have applied our model to virtually all
practice areas, including an innovative and collaborative approach to e-discovery.

The Beginning

Jane Allen didn't think of herself as someone who was going to help transform the way experienced attorneys practice law.

In fact, she was somewhat apprehensive when she proposed to work on an assignment basis at a modest hourly rate in a prominent law firm (where she held a full-time position) so she could spend more time with her children. But when she realized how much more control she had over her schedule – and the benefits and flexibility her work provided the client – that anxiety started to wane.

In 2000, Counsel On Call officially opened its doors and as talented attorneys quickly joined Jane's ranks, business blossomed. Since that time, our company has won numerous awards both locally and nationally, including being named to the Inc. 500 list of America's fastest-growing private companies three times. We currently have hundreds of attorneys working for clients on-site, in our offices, and remotely.
