Counsel Built on Experience.
SHMB Consulting was founded on a straightforward premise: organizations deserve access to senior-level legal counsel without the overhead of a full-time hire. We bring decades of cross-jurisdictional experience to every engagement — federal, state, international, and commercial.
Strategic counsel that moves with your business.
We exist to close the gap between the legal expertise organizations need and what they can realistically sustain. By operating on a fractional model, we deliver the same caliber of counsel as an in-house general counsel — embedded, responsive, and aligned with your objectives — at a cost structure that makes sense.
Depth across every domain we serve.
Federal Practice
Extensive experience advising organizations operating within federal regulatory frameworks, including procurement compliance, FAR/DFARS, and agency-specific requirements across defense, civilian, and intelligence communities.
State & Local Regulatory
Deep familiarity with state-level regulatory environments across multiple jurisdictions — licensing, permitting, state procurement, and compliance with state-specific statutory requirements.
International & Trade
Counsel on cross-border transactions, international trade compliance, export controls (EAR/ITAR), and navigating multi-jurisdictional regulatory obligations for organizations with global operations.
Commercial Transactions
Broad commercial practice spanning complex contract negotiations, M&A support, joint ventures, strategic partnerships, and the full lifecycle of commercial agreements across industries.
What sets us apart.
Senior-Level Only
Every engagement is handled by senior counsel. There are no junior associates, no hand-offs, no diluted expertise. You work directly with experienced attorneys who understand your business.
Embedded, Not External
We function as part of your team — attending meetings, understanding your operations, and providing counsel that reflects your business context, not just the abstract legal question.
Flexible Engagements
From ongoing fractional retainers to targeted project-based support, our engagement model adapts to your needs. Scale up or down as your legal requirements evolve.
Cross-Jurisdictional Reach
Federal, state, international, and commercial — we operate across every regulatory environment your organization touches, providing consistent counsel regardless of jurisdiction.
