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.
