FAQ for Simple Decision Clarity

Stephanie McGee is a licensed attorney in California. For California-based clients, attorney-client legal services are available. For clients outside California, McGee Strategic Advisors provides business advisory services that draw on deep legal experience — helping you identify risks, ask the right questions, and understand when you need to engage local legal counsel. This is not legal advice for non-California clients, and we are always clear about that distinction.

McGee Strategic Advisors is neither. We're not placing a temporary employee in your office, and we're not delivering a report and disappearing. This is an ongoing advisory relationship with one senior person who knows your business and is available when things actually happen — not just during scheduled engagements.

We work with all sizes of businesses. With over 30 years experience working with brand new start ups to corporations with over 35,000 employees - we have experience with it all. However, the sweet spot is often founders and primary leadership teams and/or with companies of 5 to 250 employees — real and complex enough to face serious HR, legal, risk, and operational challenges, but not yet large enough to have dedicated internal expertise in all of the areas we specialize.

MSA is based in Washington and easily serves clients across the West Coast as well as nationally. Stephanie is based in Oregon and Washington and accommodates clients nationwide. The vast majority of advisory work is conducted remotely. For workplace investigations and select engagements, on-site availability can be arranged.

Absolutely. Project-based engagements are available for specific needs — a handbook or policy review, labor or collective bargaining agreement negotiations, a risk assessment, a workplace investigation, a partnership exit negotiation, or a compliance audit. Reach out and we'll scope the project together.

Overage hours are billed at a pre-agreed rate established at the start of your subscription — no surprises, no pressure. You'll always know the rate before you go over.

While healthcare is not a firsthand industry background, McGee Strategic Advisors maintains trusted relationships with subject matter experts in the medical space. HR, finance, compliance, risk, and operational advisory services absolutely apply to healthcare businesses — and when industry-specific medical knowledge is needed, we make the right connection.

English is the primary language used in McGee Strategic Advisors. All reports and communication will be written in English. However, investigations and some other limited work may be done in Spanish for an additional fee. MSA is not a translation service and does not complete direct translation work for clients.

Yes — and this is more common than people think. McGee Strategic Advisors has successfully guided multiple businesses through partnership dissolutions and exit negotiations. The earlier you get experienced guidance, the more options you have. Reach out before it becomes a legal emergency.
