The Norton Law Firm provides a full range of legal services from the perspective of General Counsel and extending to experts in a network developed over several decades.

General Counsel Service

The Norton Law Firm provides each client a single, experienced attorney who is the single point of contact and will act as a true member of the client’s management team, providing strategic advice, servicing the day-to-day legal needs, and managing those event- and transaction-driven matters that require the assistance of legal experts managed by The Norton Law Firm.

Depending on the needs and preferences of each particular client, we are available on-site or remotely, providing support that leverages the most current technology, including VPNs, teleconferencing, a highly secure Web-accessible server, and project or client-based online document-sharing platforms. As requested by clients, we can also create a virtual “in-house” presence by having an “internal” phone number and e-mail address.

The Norton Law Firm Network

In addition to meeting the day-to-day legal needs of our clients, we also identify and project-manage outside counsel for specialized legal needs. These attorneys are experts with whom we have worked before – often many times – and they provide outstanding professional service at competitive rates. We also work with outside tax and legal experts previously engaged by our clients.
