Business Services

The Lewis Rice Business Services Practice Group exists to support in-house legal departments strained by attorney departures, increasing or variable internal workloads, budget constraints, and a host of other factors that create backlogs, long turnaround times, gaps in expertise, and myriad other frustrations. We work with clients to develop flexible and cost-effective legal solutions to provide the necessary experience and corporate legal support to businesses that need to address short- and long-term workflow challenges. Our attorneys work closely with business services clients to develop knowledge of those clients' internal procedures and infrastructure so that Lewis Rice can seamlessly step in and supplement the in-house departments when and to the extent needed.
