Strategic Outside Counsel Services from a Harvard-Trained, Former Big Law Litigator
Running a successful business or navigating high-stakes legal issues often requires the support of a dedicated legal team. However, not every organization needs (or wants) the overhead of a full-time, in-house legal department. This is where Outside Counsel services step in.
As Outside Counsel, Mr. Hunt serves as your on-call legal advisor, providing top-tier guidance without the ongoing expense of a permanent in-house attorney.
Mr. Hunt’s background includes extensive business litigation experience at the international law firm O’Melveny & Myers LLP and the boutique litigation firm Schilling Law Group, PC, which was founded by former attorneys from international law firm Latham & Watkins LLP. Paired with his Harvard Law education, Mr. Hunt’s pedigree ensures high-caliber legal services on an as-needed basis. By engaging Mr. Hunt in this outside capacity, you gain sophisticated legal insight at a fraction of the cost of maintaining an in-house department.
Mr. Hunt can also be another voice to consult with for your in-house department, especially if they need the insights of a litigator or a litigator to serve as your organization’s interface with larger law firms, consulting on discovery strategy, reviewing briefs, and evaluating invoices.
Litigation Strategy & Dispute Resolution
Even when disputes are not immediately on the horizon, having an experienced litigator at the ready is invaluable. Mr. Hunt’s Big Law and trial background gives him the perspective to spot red flags early—helping you decide whether a potential conflict can be defused through negotiation or whether it calls for aggressive litigation.
If a dispute does escalate, Mr. Hunt is prepared to intervene swiftly with a strategic plan. His approach is the same one he brings to his existing Of Counsel engagements: a balance of legal acumen, persuasive storytelling, and a clear understanding of the court of law—and the court of public opinion.
Privilege & Confidentiality
One of the greatest advantages of working with an Outside Counsel is the ability to maintain attorney-client privilege. By discussing sensitive matters with Mr. Hunt in his capacity as external counsel, you minimize the risk that your internal communications could become discoverable in litigation or regulatory investigations.
For law firms in particular, having Mr. Hunt as Outside Counsel allows for candid, confidential conversations about risk, strategy, and professional responsibilities—conversations that can remain fully protected by attorney-client privilege. Without Outside Counsel, there is a risk that inter-firm conversations about an ongoing matter may not be protected by attorney-client privilege in the event that a legal malpractice lawsuit is filed.
Malpractice Risk Analysis & Advisory for Law Firms
Law firms sometimes require a fresh set of eyes for risk management, ethical compliance, and potential malpractice concerns. Mr. Hunt’s background in professional responsibility, paired with his experience defending a Vault 100 law firm against legal malpractice claims, makes him a trusted outside advisor.
He has also advised attorneys serving on the board of a public company regarding their ethical obligations under California law, and currently represents a law firm in connection with a collections matter. Other lawyers turn to Mr. Hunt for his balanced, objective analysis of complex legal situations. His outside status ensures that all communications remain strictly privileged, enabling frank discussions about delicate internal matters.
Why Choose Mr. Hunt for Your Outside Counsel Needs
Mr. Hunt’s legal career has included practicing alongside elite attorneys and litigating high-profile cases, all while honing a deeply analytical mindset. His Harvard Law background and years working with lawyers from the nation’s top law firms have equipped him to integrate seamlessly into your operations, regardless of your company size or practice area focus.
When you engage Mr. Hunt as Outside Counsel, you gain a skilled ally who adds measurable value from day one—someone who thinks two steps ahead, communicates clearly, and navigates complex legal landscapes with confidence and precision.
