    General Counsel

    Let Ibis & Rooster serve as your fractional general counsel. As fractional general counsel, Ibis & Rooster can help effectively coordinate compliance, manage legal portfolios, and efficiently make legal expenditures.

    Many nonprofits, corporate entities and units of government either cannot afford or chose not to carry general counsel on staff. However, certain actions and changes by a corporate entity must be made with both a legal and strategic lens.

    Ibis & Rooster offers limited scope of representation for corporate entities and units of government addressing organizational governance challenges, compliance issues, restructuring, or building new organizational structures.

By Appointment

"A lawyer’s either a social engineer or … a parasite on society … A social engineer [is] a highly skilled, perceptive, sensitive lawyer who [understands] the Constitution of the United States and [knows] how to explore its uses in the solving of problems of local communities and in bettering conditions of the underprivileged citizens."
