Out House Operating System - Simple. Fast. Effective
1. Triage. What matters this week.
Forty three open items on the contracts tracker. Six carry money or time bar exposure. The other thirty seven wait.
2. Frame. Two options, real trade-offs.
Serve notice now on a claim that is arguable and risk the operator relationship, or fold it into the next call-off negotiation. Cost, probability and relationship consequence on one page.
3. Decide. Documented and owned.
You choose. We write down what was decided, by whom, on what basis, and on what date. When it is questioned in eight months, the answer exists.
4. Execute. Contracts, comms, approvals.
Notice drafted and served inside the window. Commercial letter to the operator. Internal brief to the project manager so the site team stops creating the same exposure.
5. Install. So you stop paying twice.
Site instruction log, notice diary with owners and dates, and a two page playbook so the next variation is captured on the day it is instructed.
We're not “outside counsel” We're inside the business
Our Origins
Outhouse Legal was born out of frustration, to exist because most legal services are optimized for documents, not decisions. We built an operator-first model: embedded, accountable, fast.
Our Reputation
Legal exists to protect momentum, not destroy it. We do not hide behind jargon. We say what is true, what is risky, and what to do next.
What we are...
Senior operators wearing legal responsibility. We show up like in-house counsel: practical, commercial, and accountable. You will not get a junior-heavy staffing pyramid. You get senior attention and clean execution.
What we are not...
- theater - a memo culture - a vague “it depends” without a recommendation - playing billing games - creating performative complexity

FAQ
We already have a law firm on panel. Why do we need this?
You probably still need them. Your panel firm is built for the big, infrequent, high stakes matter. It is not built to read the call-off order arriving on Thursday. We handle the daily commercial contracting that never justifies a partner rate and quietly costs you the most money.
What happens when we need real litigation?
We instruct and manage it. We run the brief, control scope and cost, and stay accountable for the outcome. You get the benefit of a client-side lawyer sitting on your side of the table rather than paying a firm to supervise itself.
Do you act for our operators or our competitors?
Conflicts are checked before every engagement and we decline where there is one. We will tell you what we cannot tell you.
Who covers you when you are unavailable?
We will always be available during agreed hours, we will maintain hour agreed SLA's and ensure that there is cover.
What if it does not work?
30 days notice either side, no minimum term. If the first ninety days have not paid for themselves, you should stop and we will say so first.
