Testimonials

Chris Chi General Counsel and Health Care Attorney Nashville Customer Review

Chris Chi Former General Counsel for IASIS Healthcare LLC

"Latitude has been a great way for me to meet my department's ever-shifting staffing needs. They provided me with an outstanding attorney with the practice-specific experience and judgment I needed and at less than half the cost of comparable law firm counsel. On another engagement, they provided a team of attorneys that got a project done under heavy time pressure and at a fraction of comparable law firm cost."

Mark Vane General Counsel Geodis Nashville Customer Review

Mark Vane SVP & General Counsel, Geodis

"Latitude has been a great way for me to augment my team with a part-time in-house counsel utilizing outside counsel spend. Consistently high quality attorneys with practice specific experience and the ability to parachute in and provide immediate, cost-effective assistance."

John Callison Latitude Attorney

"Working for Latitude has been terrific. It has provided me with the opportunity to maintain a legal practice that I love at a time when I wanted to slow down but continue to be productive. I cannot think of a better company to work for and colleagues to work with."

Amy Calton Latitude Health Care and Technology Attorney

Amy Calton Former Latitude Attorney and Senior Operations Counsel, naviHealth

"Working for Latitude enabled me to maintain a flexible schedule while continuing to work for growing companies with sophisticated legal work."

Elizabeth Foss Latitude Attorney Nashville; Former GC

Elizabeth Foss Former Latitude Attorney

"As a lawyer, I like solving problems and continuing to learn. Working with Latitude allowed me to retain a high level of flexibility and development without compromising on the quality of clients, projects or work assignments. They operate with such a high level of professionalism and collaboration that it really felt like they were my partner in this process."

David Francy Latitude Attorney

"After a long corporate career, I really enjoy the flexibility of working with Latitude. I work part-time from home and am able to travel and work remotely when necessary. The people at Latitude work hard to find clients with needs that fit in with my desire for a flexible schedule. They find high-quality work for me that is interesting, challenging and meets my needs."

Jeff Simpson Former Latitude Attorney and Senior Director, CoreCivic

"A client's business needs changed during my engagement and they happened to align with my future interests. Our existing relationship created a natural fit for in-house employment, so they hired me. I've been thrilled to practice in an area that I would not have accessed but for my work with Latitude."

Chicago Latitude ERISA Law Firm Attorney

Lisa B. Latitude Attorney

"Very early in the legal phase of my career, I discovered that the traditional law firm path (associate to partner) was not for me, and each of my law firm roles since my first (as a law firm associate) has been an alternative to that traditional path. My work as a consulting attorney with Latitude lets me focus on the technical ERISA and employee benefits work that I love, in a professional role with a reputable organization. The benefits offered by Latitude help ensure this is a viable, long-term option for me."

Sean Kirk Bone McCallester Law Firm Partner Customer Review

Sean C. Kirk Attorney, Bone McAllester Norton PLLC

"I have engaged Latitude Attorneys as a cost-effective solution for several of my clients, including a national financial institution and an international manufacturer. Latitude provided me with partner-level attorneys who functioned seamlessly on-site or in court alongside my clients."

Aaron Kaalberg Former General Counsel for H.G. Hill Realty Company

"I needed an experienced commercial real estate attorney that I could trust to accurately abstract several complicated commercial loans. Latitude provided me with a former Linklater’s attorney. He was professional and had the skill and experience to reduce complicated loan provisions into a user-friendly format, which greatly helped us refine our internal loan administration and financial reporting. He did a great job at a fraction of the cost of typical outside counsel."

April Berman General Counsel Asurion Nashville Customer Review Testimonial

April Berman SVP & Deputy General Counsel, Asurion

"Latitude has enabled us to respond nimbly to changing legal needs with high-quality resources that are far more cost-effective than traditional outside counsel. Whether the need is project specific or ongoing support, Latitude leverages a personalized understanding of our business and team dynamics to connect us with great talent."

Tiffany Lipscomb Former Latitude Paralegal

"Latitude's screening process is very thorough, which not only benefits clients but also candidates. They spent time getting to know me, my prior experience and what I wanted to do next in my career, then only presented me with opportunities that were a perfect match. I enjoyed working with them both when I wanted a flexible engagement and then later when my priorities changed and I wanted to return to a full-time position. I would recommend that any attorney or paralegal work with them."
