We offer cost-effective and flexible solutions for companies seeking reliable legal support tailored to their specific needs, whether they prefer predictable, monthly fractional counsel services or the flexibility of an hourly arrangement for as-needed legal support.

HOURLY SERVICES

TRANSPARENCY
Clients receive clear, itemized invoices, detailing time spent on each matter. This transparency allows businesses to monitor legal expenses closely and make informed decisions about resource allocation, ultimately helping them manage budgets effectively.
FLEXIBILITY
We provide expert legal services by the hour, giving clients the freedom to consult on projects or issues as they arise. Especially for startups or small to mid-sized companies that may not require much legal work, an hourly arrangement provides legal support on an as-needed basis.
INVESTMENT IN BUSINESS GROWTH
Hourly support provides companies with legal guidance that aligns with their growth goals, helping them navigate challenges, close deals, and maintain legal best practices without the need for full-time counsel.

OUTSIDE GENERAL COUNSEL SERVICES

Cost-effectiveness
By providing legal expertise on a monthly basis, companies have access to high-level legal advice without the expense of a full-time employee. The cost of fractional counsel services are set per month and are significantly lower than hourly rates, allowing companies to budget accordingly.
Flexibility
Whether it is for 10 hours a month, or 100 hours a month, companies can scale legal services according to their needs. We are here to help whether it’s during pivotal business deals or for day-to-day operations.
Expertise on-demand
Acting as trusted advisors, we bring specialized legal knowledge and experience to the table, allowing companies to tap into a diverse skill set as needed. By prioritizing proactive maintenance over reactive problem-solving, we can help clients safeguard their interests while minimizing time and expenses.
