Outside general counsel counsel for Naples businesses.
Skandalakis & Ross serves as outside general counsel to companies in Naples and across Southwest Florida. Led by Jack N. Ross, the engagement covers contract review and negotiation, templates and playbooks, employment and contractor agreements, and the week-to-week questions a growing company runs into, on a defined scope agreed in writing.
Naples wealth and business activity generate steady transactional work on Florida's west coast. In Naples, we regularly see businesses in real estate, healthcare, and family-held businesses, each with its own contract, diligence, and structuring issues.
The cheapest legal work a company ever buys is the contract reviewed before signature. Counsel who already knows your business can answer the afternoon question in minutes, spot the issue inside a new deal before it becomes a dispute, and bring in the firm’s trial practice without a handoff if a matter turns adversarial.
The firm’s offices are in Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment) and Canton, Georgia. We meet Naples clients at the Oakland Park office, by video, or at your place of business. Florida matters are handled by Jack N. Ross, licensed to practice law in Florida.

Outside General Counsel overviewAbout Jack N. RossOur attorneys
Outside General Counsel questions from Naples clients.
What does outside general counsel cost for a Naples company?
Typically a monthly engagement with a defined scope, or hourly work under a written estimate, agreed before work begins. The point is predictability: legal review as an operating cost rather than a crisis cost.
Is my company too small for outside general counsel?
If you are signing contracts, hiring people, or taking on customers of any size, no. The engagement scales to the company, and early-stage clients often start with contract review alone.
What happens if a dispute starts?
The firm’s litigation practice, led by trial attorney Mitch Skandalakis, steps in with counsel who already knows your contracts and your business.
Do you meet with Naples clients in person?
The firm’s offices are in Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment) and Canton, Georgia. We meet Naples clients at the Oakland Park office, by video, or at your place of business.
