Our Story
At Lighthouse Legal Counsel, we provide practical, sophisticated legal support explicitly tailored for growing businesses. Founded by Rob Sieland, a seasoned legal executive with extensive global in-house legal experience and industry knowledge, we offer comprehensive legal services with a strategic, business-centric approach.
Having worked both in prestigious law firms and as in-house counsel at major corporations, our team brings a unique dual perspective to every client relationship. We understand the legal landscape from both sides of the table, allowing us to bridge the gap between complex legal requirements and practical business solutions.
Our team's combined experience at McDermott, Will & Emery, Schiff Hardin, Sidley Austin LLP, and as in-house counsel at companies like Adtalem Global Education, R. R. Donnelley & Sons, Hub Group, and Boeing gives us the insight to deliver what businesses truly need from their legal counsel.
As a member of the INBLF (International Network of Boutique and Independent Law Firms), we also offer our clients access to personalized, experienced legal professionals in virtually any practice area in the world.
