Working with HBL allows client companies to access high-quality legal services while avoiding significant overhead costs of hiring a full time in-house attorney.

Legal services are provided on an ad hoc basis, enabling companies only pay for legal service they use, which is especially beneficial for businesses with enough legal spend to need legal services, but not enough to justify hiring in-house general counsel.

HBL brings a broader range of expertise across multiple industries and legal disciplines due to experiences serving various clients.

This breadth of knowledge is particularly valuable for small to mid-sized companies that may encounter diverse legal challenges but cannot afford a full team of in-house specialists.

HBL services can be scaled up or down based on the company’s current needs, offering flexibility that in-house counsel may not provide.
