General Counsel and Individual Attorney Services
After practicing law for over fifteen years with large firms and as the in-house attorney for businesses, I’ve learned that I can provide better results when I work with my clients over a period of time to learn their business, hopes, challenges and expectations. I can then both solve pending issues and generate tailored strategies thatlower their legal expenses, improve their business and legal practices, and align their legal efforts with their business goals. I founded Schechter Legal Counsel with this recognition. I continueto help individuals and businesses such as University of Minnesota Physicians, and work as the in-house general counsel for clients such as ChartHouse International Learning Corp that want the efficiencies and benefits of internal management of its legal issues. My clients appreciate:

Receiving high quality, senior legal counsel that isaffordable,
Receiving the personal connection that comes from caring about their business;
Receiving the tailored solutions that comes from learning my client’s business needs, vision and hopes, and
Receivingfull service by \solving the matter myself and working with other trusted attorneys.

I recognize that your business is my business.
I graduatedfrom a top-five rated law school, litigated cases for ten years, worked in-house with medical devices and construction clients, and served seven years as the general counsel for an international distribution and publishing company. I have worked on conflict resolution, employment, intellectual property, contract negotiation, risk management and relationship building, construction, international, and other matters; received the President’s Award from the state bar association; and been appointed to the state board governing attorney’s continuing legal education.
In this time, I have most loved receiving a complicated problem and returning an efficient and effective solution that furthers the business.
