Many businesses don't need a full-time in-house attorney, but every business benefits from consistent and practical legal guidance on contracts, services, and internal operations.
Traditional legal counsel is often limited to the problems you’ve already identified after the damage is done. Unfamiliar pitfalls can hide significant and costly risks that could have been avoided from the start.
Whether you are operating without legal support, limited to specialist outside counsel, or supplementing an in-house legal team, Lattice Legal helps you move from reactive damage control to proactive risk management that drives your business forward.

Andrew Degner
As a graduate of Columbia Law School with over fifteen years of experience advising high-growth companies, including Microsoft, Mattel, and Wpromote, I have seen that the the best legal guidance doesn't sit on the sidelines until a fire starts. Integrated legal guidance operates as part of the business, creating clarity, reducing friction, and helping the company grow with confidence.
I serve as a proactive, business-first legal partner for businesses navigating growth, risk, and execution challenges. My practice focuses on complex contracts, commercial and technology agreements, internal legal infrastructure, policy and process development, and practical risk mitigation that supports long-term business objectives rather than slowing them down.
I have helped modernize legal operations, built legal departments from the ground up, and guided leadership teams through critical decisions where legal strategy directly shapes business outcomes. My role extends beyond traditional outside counsel. I work as an embedded strategic advisor, helping executives solve problems before they become legal obstacles.
Testimonials
"My AI consultancy engaged Andrew to help draft our terms of service for a major project, and he immediately proved his value.
He asked the kind of sharp, specific questions that made it clear he actually understood what we were building, the nature of our client, and the areas we needed to improve in our Statement of Work. He flagged risks and included protections I never would have thought to ask for.
Andrew thinks like a business partner who happens to be a lawyer, and that combination is rare. If you're looking for someone to improve your contracts, look no further than Andrew Degner at Lattice Legal."
