We help launch over 50 new businesses every year and support countless others through complex legal situations. Our legal team is here to guide and support you because your success is our success.

Who This Is For

This is a great fit if you:

Are a founder or small business owner without in-house counsel
Are growing and signing more contracts, hiring, or raising money
Want proactive legal guidance - not just reacting to problems
Are tired of unpredictable legal bills

How Our General Counsel Relationship Works

We focus on providing tailored legal services to small businesses. We believe in giving personal attention to every client. You get a trusted partner who will support your goals. When you work with us, you get more than just a lawyer:

We learn your business and goals
You get ongoing access to our team (not just one-off projects)
We proactively flag risks and opportunities
We scale with you as your business grows

How Having An Outside General Counsel Can Make a Difference

Having the right legal guidance can be the difference between a business that thrives and one that faces costly issues down the road. Without proper legal counsel, you might run into serious problems. We’re not here to generate documents. We’re here to help you run a better business.
