Startup General Counsel

Get ongoing legal counsel for your startup at a fixed monthly fee.

The dreaded billable hour should not slow down your growth.

To avoid high legal fees founders often skip, delay, or DIY their legal needs. But without proper legal counsel, you risk making costly mistakes, such as:

Making uninformed “gut” decisions.
Using Google as your lawyer.
Drafting your own contracts.
Focusing on unimportant issues and slowing down deals.
Entering due diligence unprepared.
Missing opportunities.

Scale your startup smarter with General Counsel.

You have enough on your plate. Legal should not be an additional source of stress. Get an attorney in your corner to avoid costly mistakes, and breathe easy knowing you’ll never get a surprise legal bill.

Get fractional General Counsel for your startup.

100 Day Promise

We promise to get your legal house in order within the first 100 days. First, we put out any existing legal “fires”, then we draft your custom contracts so you’re equipped to grow with confidence.

It’s really nice to have a lawyer you can bounce ideas off of – without worrying about the cost of each question.
