See how flat-rate counsel compares to a BigLaw firm, a full-time hire, and DIY legal tools.
Most startups end up choosing between three options, and none of them are built for a company your size.
$150K–$500K+ per year
Partners bill $1,200 to $4,000 or more an hour. Paralegals often run $700 an hour on their own. Costs compound fast across a single deal.
$300K–$400K+ per year
Salary plus equity, before you add the paralegals, junior attorneys, and outside counsel a growing legal function still needs.
$0–$5K per year
Cheap until something goes wrong. Most explicitly disclaim liability, offer no attorney-client privilege, and can make your documents discoverable in a dispute.
No BigLaw markup, no full-time salary, and no fine print disclaiming liability. Three ways to work together, all built around your business.
Pay for attorney time as you need it. No retainer and no minimum, at a rate built to undercut BigLaw, not match it.
A monthly plan sized to your legal workload, with priority access and predictable costs as you scale.
For well-defined, repeatable work like contracts, formation, and policies, agree on scope and price upfront.
