The senior legal and commercial mind every growing business needs — embedded in your leadership team, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. We own the work, not just the advice.
A General Counsel isn't a lawyer you call when something breaks. It's the function that keeps the whole commercial and legal side of the business moving — and stops problems before they start.
Drafting, negotiating and managing the agreements that run your business — and owning every renewal, break and review so value never leaks.
When suppliers, customers or counterparties become a problem, we step in and resolve it commercially — keeping you out of court wherever possible.
Board and corporate housekeeping, regulatory questions, banking and compliance — handled quietly and properly, so the business stays clean.
New revenue, partnerships, transactions and expansion — structured and executed — plus protecting the IP and value you've built.
Most growing businesses hit a point where ad-hoc lawyers no longer cut it — but a full-time General Counsel is a six-figure commitment that's hard to justify. The outsourced function gives you the senior judgement and the execution, scaled to what you actually need, from day one.
See the maths →Dinmore Bell was created by people who have started, scaled and run businesses. We think commercially first, move at the pace founders move, and keep your costs under control. That changes everything about how the function feels.
We act as your General Counsel function and do not undertake reserved legal activities. The goal is always to resolve matters commercially, long before they reach a courtroom.
When regulated or specialist work is genuinely needed, we coordinate our bank of trusted advisers and manage them — so costs stay controlled and everything is translated into plain commercial terms.
We hold our clients' confidences absolutely and never name who we act for. That discretion is exactly why founders trust us with what matters most.
Every engagement begins with a paid Scope Analysis that defines exactly what we take on. From there, three levels — from managed contracts to a full outsourced GC and Founder Office.
Start with a Scope Analysis: a clear audit of your contracts, risks and priorities — and exactly how we'd take ownership.
Request a Scope Analysis →Compare our fee against the fully-loaded cost of the senior hire you'd otherwise make — not against a law firm's hourly rate.
Loaded cost reflects salary plus employer NI, pension, benefits and recruitment — the true annual cost of a permanent senior hire. Illustrative; your scope is set by a Scope Analysis.
