Outside CLO

Unequaled legal support with a push toward social good.

Why Outside CLO?

As business becomes more competitive and regulated, few are better situated to identify critical growth issues than a seasoned Chief Legal Officer.

But maybe your business doesn’t need a full-time CLO. You may not have large corporations’ scale and resources, but you have flexibility, agility, and resilience.

If that sounds familiar and high external counsel costs aren’t the solution, let’s discuss how Outside CLO’s talented and experienced counsel and support teams can help your entrepreneurial spark burn even brighter.
