GENERAL COUNSEL

Get in house legal counsel  for you business at the fraction of the cost.

Say goodbye to the billable hour.

To avoid high legal fees, entrepreneurs will often skip or DIY their legal needs. However, without proper legal counsel, you run a high risk of making costly legal mistakes, like making uniformed decisions, using ChatGPT as your lawyer, use outdated contracts found on Google, focusing on non-market terms in deals, opening yourself up to lawsuits, and missing funding because your due diligence was incomplete. We have a solution for you. Our monthly counsel option provides you with an inhouse lawyer at a monthly fee without worrying about the billable hour.
