Simon Krauss General Counsel

Providing the Benefits of In-House Counsel at a Fraction of the Cost

As your outside, or fractional, corporate counsel, I bring more than 30 years of U.S. and international commercial law practice, with 20 years as in-house counsel. My experience provides you with fast, efficient, and effective legal solutions to help your business succeed.

For a simple monthly fee, you receive the benefit of experienced in-house counsel with the flexibility of an outside advisor at a monthly cost that makes sense.

Simon Krauss General Counsel provides you with:

Commercial Contracts
Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating domestic and international sales, SaaS, platform licensing, and reseller agreements — built from years of cutting contract turnaround time and sales cycle times in half.

Corporate Governance
Board governance, corporate secretary duties, bylaw amendments, and policy frameworks for complex, multi-tiered, and private equity-owned structures — keeping your company well-governed at every stage of growth.

Employment Law
Counsel on hiring, handbooks, disputes, and workplace compliance across the U.S. and abroad — guidance that's directly reduced employment disputes and supported teams through growth and international expansion.

Regulatory & Compliance
Navigating domestic and international regulatory requirements, data privacy (including GDPR), and cybersecurity obligations.

Corporate Structure & Entity Management
Legal support for subsidiary formation, and entity dissolution, including experience standing up and winding down foreign entities and creating spin-offs.

Intellectual Property
Building and protecting IP value, from patent program development to trademark prosecution and copyright protection.

I provide the basics for startups, outside general counsel for growing companies, and additional support for mature companies
