Small businesses routinely need reliable legal advice, but not the commitment of full-time in-house counsel. A legal services subscription - sometimes called an Outside General Counsel Model or Fractional Legal Counsel - is a modern approach to legal billing that provides access to legal guidance at a predictable monthly fee.
A subscription provides you with the peace of mind of having an established attorney-client relationship for both your routine questions and unexpected concerns. This access is offered at a discount compared to standard hourly rates.
Subscriptions are offered at different levels to meet various budgets and needs:
Essential - $100 per month
30 minutes of legal consultation (virtual meeting or email correspondence)
5% discount on flat fee services
Standard - $500 per month
2.5 hours of legal consultation (virtual meetings, email correspondence, research, contract reviews)
5% discount on flat fee services
Complete - $1000 per month
5 hours of legal consultation (virtual meetings, email correspondence, research, contract reviews)
10% discount on flat fee services
Custom Subscription - $1,500 - $5,000 per month
We can work together to create a custom-designed subscription that meets the legal needs of your business.
To get started, schedule a free Informational Meeting to discuss the subscription options and your needs.

Whether you are considering entering into an agreement, or already have an executed contract, a contract review can help you understand your legal obligations.

The flat fee for a basic review is $360, which covers up to five pages. A charge of $24 per page is added for any pages beyond the initial five. This fee includes a one hour virtual consultation to discuss the contract review.
In-Depth Contract Review
This type of review is appropriate if you are looking for a detailed analysis, comments, and recommendations for modifications.
The flat fee for an in-depth review is $480, which covers up to five pages. A charge of $48 per page is added for any pages beyond the initial five. This fee includes a one hour virtual consultation to discuss the contract review.

The flat fee for drafting generally ranges from $500 to $2,500, depending on the contract's type and complexity. The flat fee includes a scoping meeting to gather the necessary information, creating an initial draft of the document, and a refinement window to review the document together and ensure the document meets your needs.
For contract drafting that includes negotiation with another party, the fee will be a combination of a flat fee and hourly rate billing for the negotiation and revision rounds.
