Practice Areas: Business, Communications & Media, Corporate & Incorporation, Securities Offerings, Intellectual Property
Lane H. Blumenfeld is the managing attorney of VIRTUAL In-House Counsel, PLLC, a solo practice he founded to address client's growing demand for their outside counsel to respond to business challenges in an "in-house way."  Having been a client himself, including as chief counsel for a public IT company with global operations, he understands what those on the inside seek from their attorneys on the outside:  practical, business-oriented solutions, provided quickly and priced reasonably.  Drawing upon his in-house experience in the technology and communications industries, he helps emerging growth companies solve their commerical, corporate, and technology law problems.  In addition, he serves as a virtual general counsel for clients without or between chief legal officers.  Moreover, his VIRTUAL approach, by avoiding big law firm overhead and charging by project, not time, eliminates hourly billing's inherent inefficiency and unpredictability.
