Your business moves in days; traditional outside counsel moves in weeks. You need a contract review before the customer call and an answer on an equity grant before the board meeting. But hourly billing puts a price tag on every question, so the questions stop getting asked and the issues surface later, in diligence, in a dispute, or in a deal that stalls.

Hiring in-house fixes the speed problem at a cost most companies cannot justify: a six-figure salary plus equity for one person with one set of expertise, who will still need outside firms for financings, regulatory work, and disputes.

Our Outside General Counsel Program is built for the space in between. You get a dedicated attorney who knows your business, your contracts, and your cap table, available on a defined response time for a flat monthly fee. No meter runs on a five-minute question, so we hear about problems while they are still small. The job is to keep pace with how fast you move without letting that speed cost you your protection.

Predictable by design. The monthly fee covers your recurring legal work. Anything more substantial is scoped and quoted in writing before it starts and you will never see an invoice you did not approve.
