Bradley Launches Outside General Counsel Services Team

Bradley has launched an Outside General Counsel Services team designed to provide businesses with flexible, value-driven day-to-day legal and compliance support in an increasingly complex and fast-changing regulatory and business environment. Corporate & Securities partner Jeffrey M. Harvey leads the team, utilizing his more than 20 years of experience as in-house and outside general counsel to coordinate with attorneys across the firm’s footprint to deliver tailored, scalable legal solutions that align with clients’ operational and strategic needs.

“Our Outside General Counsel Services team offers practical, business-focused legal guidance that helps companies manage risk, maintain compliance, and seize opportunities without the overhead of maintaining and expanding internal legal departments,” said Mr. Harvey. “By formalizing this offering, we are providing managers, owners, and executives with reliable industry and subject-matter-focused legal teams that understand their business models and adapt to evolving regulations and other internal and external factors that impact operations. This approach brings right-sized resources to emerging or mid-size businesses with limited or no in-house legal resources and strengthens existing legal teams to ensure continuity and scalability.”

Bradley’s Outside General Counsel Services team gives clients access to carefully selected legal professionals and staff who can serve as both broad legal advisors and traditional transactional and regulatory lawyers. Drawing from the firm’s more than 750 attorneys, the team provides comprehensive support across a wide range of legal and operational areas, including risk identification and mitigation, entity structuring and formation, corporate governance and compliance, contracts, employment matters, intellectual property protection, real estate, supply chain and trade compliance, technology transactions and licensing, securities and reporting obligations, mergers and acquisitions, and litigation and claims management.

“Bradley is deeply committed to delivering innovative service models that reflect how businesses operate in today’s climate,” said Bradley Chairman of the Board and Managing Partner Jonathan M. Skeeters. “This team enhances the way we support clients as they face pressure to control costs while navigating evolving regulatory frameworks and rapid technological developments. Clients tell us what they need and when they need it, and we deliver solutions that meet their business and financial objectives.”

The Outside General Counsel Services team is composed of attorneys with decades of experience serving as general counsel or in senior legal positions at Fortune 500 companies, global public and private businesses, healthcare systems, financial institutions, insurers, private equity firms, and family offices, among others. This vast experience allows Bradley to solve sophisticated issues that in-house counsel may not be equipped to handle on their own. Bradley’s general counsel services are tailored to clients that need skilled general counsel representation but lack an in-house attorney, as well as to clients with existing legal departments that need additional resources to supplement their teams, even temporarily, to support workload demands or specialized matters.
