Strategic legal advice for founders.
We’re a startup, just like you.
We decided to do things differently.

2/ We’re accessible.
We operate virtually. We will update you on our progress and meet your deadlines, freeing you to focus on running your business.
3/ We’re qualified.
We come from leading global law firms and top ranked law schools. We’re here because we have a passion for startups and for running our own.

Representative Partners & Clients
Do you only need a one-off advisory session? Even easier – just use our online scheduling tool by clicking here.
Flat fees tailored to your budget and legal needs.
Option 1/ Flat Fee Project.
Our fees are flat, not hourly. You describe the project, we’ll provide a flat fee quote. Even if your project takes twice the time we estimate, you won’t pay a penny more.
Option 2/ Monthly Subscription.
We offer tailored monthly general counsel subscriptions as an alternative to billing project-by-project. Fees vary depending on your startup’s typical legal needs.
Describe your project (or express interest in a general counsel subscription) by clicking "Get Started." We’ll do the rest, including asking any follow-up questions.
Once you receive your quote, accept online by e-signing our engagement letter. For small projects, we ask for payment upon completion. For big projects, we may ask for incremental payments.
Once you have accepted your quote, one of our lawyers will reach out to schedule a phone call or video conference to discuss your business and project in greater detail.
Once you receive your completed project, and confirm that you are satisfied, we will send you an invoice.
Many businesses avoid lawyers for the same reasons: they are expensive, unhelpful and unresponsive. We decided to do things differently.
1/ We’re efficient.
We work virtually and leverage the latest legal tech to improve efficiency and reduce our overhead, passing the savings on to you.
2/ We’re helpful.
3/ We’re responsive.
4/ We’re qualified.
We come from leading global law firms and top ranked law schools. We’re here because we have a passion for startups and small businesses and for running our own.
5/ We’re invested.
