We combine the expertise of a large firm with the personalized service of a boutique practice. Our founding attorney has over 17 years of experience, ensuring you receive dedicated attention. This approach allows us to be more nimble and responsive to your needs.
We primarily serve entrepreneurs, startup founders, high net worth individual investors, and the CEOs and CFOs of mid-market growth companies. Our clients are leaders who value a strategic legal partner. We focus on those without in-house legal counsel.
We specialize in Technology, Biotechnology, and Sports & Entertainment sectors. Our extensive experience allows us to navigate the unique challenges of these industries. We provide tailored legal solutions that align with industry dynamics.
Start by scheduling a 15-minute consultation to discuss your legal needs. This helps us assess if we are the right fit. We will then outline the scope of work and engagement terms.
Yes, we generally operate on a retainer basis and bill hourly, with a few exceptions, and feel that this works well because clients are only paying for the services that they receive. In certain circumstances: (i) fixed scope projects and (ii) business or nonprofit formations, we offer fixed priced packages. After we establish a relationship, we are also happy to offer Outside General Counsel Services based on usage for a flat monthly fee. This provides clients with predictable legal costs and ongoing support.
Startups typically reach a “legal tipping point” where DIY templates or occasional consultations no longer suffice. You should consider Outside General Counsel when:
- Fundraising: You are preparing for Seed or Series A rounds and need your corporate records “due diligence ready.”
- Scaling Operations: You are hiring employees rapidly, entering complex commercial contracts, or expanding into new markets.
- Risk Management: Your business handles sensitive IP, specialized regulatory data, or high-value partnerships that require consistent oversight.
- Strategic Growth: You want a legal partner who understands your long-term business goals and can provide proactive advice rather than just reactive “firefighting.”
While both roles focus on the holistic legal health of your company, the primary differences lie in cost structure and flexibility:
| Feature | In-House Counsel | Outside General Counsel (OGC) |
| Employment Status | A full-time W-2 employee. | An independent firm/partner (1099). |
| Cost Structure | High fixed cost (Salary, benefits, equity, overhead). | Scalable (Flat monthly fee or hourly usage). |
| Availability | Dedicated 100% to one company. | Available as-needed; acts as a fractional team member. |
| Best For | Large enterprises with constant daily legal volume. | Mid-market and growth companies needing senior expertise without the $300k+ headcount cost. |
