For Founders & Growing Companies

Build legal protection
into your company
from day one.

Most founders wait until something goes wrong to hire a lawyer. By then, the bad contract is signed, the equity is mis-structured, or the employee is already a liability. The BLM Founder Program gives you a dedicated General Counsel and a team of attorneys in your corner from the very beginning — at a monthly cost that scales with your stage.

How It Works

Two layers. One seamless team.

Your GC is available via email with a 24-hour response guarantee. Attorney time is there when you need it — for contracts, employment, compliance, and more. No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. Just a legal team that grows with you.

Layer One

The GC Advisory Layer

Your dedicated General Counsel is available via email, 24-hour response guaranteed. Ask anything — contract questions, hiring decisions, compliance concerns, strategic risks. Your GC triages every issue and routes it to the right resource. You get a strategic sounding board, not a billing clock.

  • Unlimited email access
  • 24-hour response SLA
  • Strategic business partner
  • Triages and routes all legal issues

Layer Two

The Attorney Execution Layer

Behind your GC is a team of transactional attorneys who handle the actual work — drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts, employment documents, policies, and more. Attorney hours are included in your monthly program. When you need more, overage rates are transparent and discounted.

  • Contract drafting and review
  • Employment documents and policies
  • Compliance monitoring
  • Transparent overage rates

The Founder Program

Three tiers. One team. Built to grow with you.

All new Founder Program clients begin with a one-time Legal Audit & Onboarding ($1,500) to review your existing contracts, corporate structure, and cap table — ensuring your monthly hours are spent moving forward, not cleaning up the past.
