When you call, a lawyer answers.
Senior counsel on call for whatever comes up, and a legal operating system putting your whole back office in order. One flat subscription. No meter.
New clients may book a scoping call.
One membership. Two kinds of work.
The responsive half.
A senior attorney available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for whatever the business runs into. Contract review, a demand letter that just arrived, an employment question, a negotiation that has to move today. Unlimited calls and email, all inside the flat fee.
The proactive half.
While the phone is covered, the same counsel works through the eighteen legal surfaces of the business on a monthly calendar, from entities and contracts to employment and insurance, finding problems while they are still inexpensive to fix.
Both halves are the same membership and the same fee. Nothing is sold separately.
The terms, drawn in advance.
Flat fee
One monthly number, fixed in writing before you commit. It does not move with the volume of your questions.
Defined events
Separate engagements begin only at five defined commencement events, each scoped and priced in writing before work starts.
Simple exit
Either party may leave on 60 days written notice. No penalties. The work product stays with you.
Pricing is published and predictable. Membership begins at $4,500 per month for companies around $5M in revenue. See pricing.
Eighteen modules. Every legal surface of the business.
At kickoff, leadership scores each module by perceived weakness. That ranking sets the calendar. Counsel then works one module per month, weakest areas first, delivering findings in writing and handling fixes inside membership. A full cycle takes roughly eighteen months, after which the system converts to continuous monitoring.

A growing company hires a bookkeeper long before a CFO, and an IT firm long before a CTO. Legal is the exception. Legal is a stranger, called after something has already gone wrong, at crisis prices, learning the business on the client's dime. Retained inverts that. Counsel arrives before the problem does, knows the business already, and works on a fee the company can plan around.
