About Our Company

Overview and Services

Co-Counselors, LLC is a legal processing outsourcing company (“LPO”) and works exclusively with law firms and corporate legal departments. An LPO may sometimes be referred to as an “Alternative Legal Service Provider.”

Law firms and companies must be nimble in order to best serve their clients and/or companies without adding overhead or time-consuming administrative matters. The same amount of time and money spent in-house can go further if an outside vendor is engaged due to the expertise and efficiencies built into the processes. Legal process outsourcing offers precisely this kind of agility.

Is your firm too busy to accept new clients or handle complex litigation? With Co-Counselors, LLC, your firm may expand its practice and meet the needs of existing clients without increasing overhead.

Co-Counselors, LLC's goal is to improve your firm's or company's return on investment, proportionately eliminate the concerns that are intrinsic to employee management (fringe benefits, absenteeism, productivity concerns), and reduce administrative and training costs. It also proportionately shifts the expensive and complex burdens of related employment taxes, insurance, and employee benefits to Co-Counselors, LLC.

Co-Counselors, LLC assists attorneys with legal research; document review; discovery; drafting of pleadings and other documents, such as contracts, and trial strategy; formation and operation of corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies; and tax preparation.

Co-Counselors, LLC provides attorneys and support staff with affordable, efficient, and above all, skilled services.

Co-Counselors, LLC’s principal focus is Texas state and federal law.

If you need assistance in other areas or in states other than Texas, please ask if Co-Counselors, LLC can competently provide those services.
