Counsel that grows with your company

From formation to financing to exit, we act as outside general counsel for ambitious companies — practical advice at the speed of business.

What this covers

Your legal department, without the overhead


Hiring full-time counsel too early burns runway; hiring none invites risk. Our business counsel practice gives founders and executives a senior attorney on call — someone who knows your company and answers before small issues become expensive ones.

  • Formation & governance — entity choice, charters, bylaws, and founder agreements.
  • Financing rounds — SAFEs, priced rounds, and investor negotiations.
  • Commercial contracts — MSAs, licensing, partnerships, and procurement.
  • Employment & compliance — hiring, handbooks, and regulatory readiness.

Common questions

Business counsel FAQ

Yes. Most clients choose a monthly plan covering day-to-day advice, contract review, and quick-turn questions, with project work quoted separately. See our pricing page for current tiers.

Absolutely — financing support is a core strength. We review term sheets, negotiate investor documents, and coordinate closings on tight timelines.

Never. Most of our clients arrive mid-growth. The discovery audit identifies what needs cleaning up, and we fix it without disrupting operations.
