Legal Strategy for High-Stakes Operations
Trusted legal guidance for defense, technology, and international business.
Counsel That Understands Operational Reality
Conan J. Higgins serves as president and general counsel of TSI Legal Enterprises, PC, providing sophisticated legal counsel to clients in the defense, technology, security, and international business sectors.
His practice focuses on the complex, the regulated, and the high-stakes—the matters where legal expertise alone isn't enough. Clients come to Conan because he understands not just the legal architecture of a transaction but the operational reality underneath it.
Practice Areas
Navigating the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and Export Administration Regulations requires precision and experience. Conan advises defense contractors, manufacturers, and technology companies on compliance programs, classifications, licensing, and remediation when things go wrong.
Why Conan?
Many attorneys can draft a contract or file a motion. Few have actually operated in the environments their clients navigate.
Conan has managed projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars across six continents. He has worked in conflict zones, navigated foreign bureaucracies, and solved problems where the stakes were measured in more than dollars. That experience informs every legal engagement—because understanding the law is only half the equation. Understanding how business actually works in complex, high-pressure environments is the other half.
Engagement Models
Hourly Engagements
For discrete matters, Conan works on an hourly basis at rates reflecting the specialized nature of his practice.
Project-Based Fees
For defined-scope projects—such as compliance audits, contract drafting, or licensing applications—Conan offers flat-fee arrangements that provide cost certainty.
Outside General Counsel Retainers
For ongoing relationships, Conan offers monthly retainer arrangements that provide predictable access to senior counsel with included hours and priority response.
