Outside General Counsel

Torres Law’s Outside General Counsel service gives growing businesses access to the same caliber of senior legal counsel that major corporations rely on — without the overhead of a full-time in-house legal department. Osvaldo “Ozzie” Torres brings firsthand in-house perspective to this service: he served as General Counsel to Telemundo Group, Inc. and HBO Latin America Group, where he managed the full spectrum of legal affairs for complex, multinational enterprises. That experience informs everything we do as outside counsel — we understand how legal decisions intersect with business strategy, budget constraints, and operational realities.

As your outside general counsel, Torres Law functions as a true legal partner, not just a vendor. We get to know your business, your industry, your key relationships, and your risk tolerance. We review and negotiate contracts before you sign them, advise on employment matters as they arise, guide you through regulatory compliance questions, and serve as your first call whenever a legal issue surfaces. For companies that deal with vendors, distributors, customers, and investors across multiple jurisdictions, having a trusted legal advisor who knows your business pays for itself in avoided disputes and better deal terms.

Our OGC relationships are structured for flexibility. We work on retainer arrangements calibrated to your actual legal needs, and we scale our involvement as your business grows. When matters require specialized expertise — securities filings, real estate transactions, litigation management — we either handle them directly within our practice or coordinate with trusted outside specialists, providing seamless oversight so you are never managing multiple law firms without a single point of accountability.
