Fractional General Counsel

Accurate. Efficient. Speedy.

Company counsel on one flat monthly fee, working at the pace your sales cycle already runs at. A redline comes back in one business day.

Accurate
A licensed attorney reads and signs off on every document. The cap table reconciles to the signed instruments, and the agreements say what the deal actually is.
Efficient
One flat monthly fee covers the recurring work, so a routine question costs nothing to ask and the answer arrives the day you asked it.
Speedy
Turnarounds are published rather than negotiated deal by deal: one business day on a redline, same business day on an NDA.

One flat monthly fee

One amount, the same in a quiet month as in a loud one, billed monthly. We quote it for your company rather than posting a number here, and it is fixed in the engagement letter before the first month runs.

MSA — master services agreement: The one contract that sets the terms between you and a customer once: payment, liability, IP ownership, confidentiality, term, and termination. Every later deal becomes a short order form that points back at it instead of a fresh negotiation, which is why getting the MSA right is what makes the next ten deals quick.

What the monthly fee covers

Cap table management
The ledger stays current as options are granted, exercised, and forfeited — reconciled against the signed instruments and the board consents, not against the spreadsheet.
Employee and contractor agreements
Offer letters, IP assignment, confidentiality, contractor agreements, and the option-grant paperwork that has to match what the board actually approved.
Basic taxes and state filings
Nevada Commerce Tax and Modified Business Tax filings, the annual list, and the registered-agent and state calendar that keeps the entity in good standing.
Corporate housekeeping
Board and stockholder consents, the minute book, and the corporate record a diligence request is going to ask for on two days' notice.
Counsel on call
The questions that would otherwise wait for a scheduled call. Ask them the day you have them; the answer is inside the monthly fee.

It runs inside your sales cycle

Legal is a step inside the stage your rep is already in, not a stage that comes after the deal. Published turnarounds are what make that forecastable.

Discovery call
Mutual NDA out the same business day, from your paper or ours.
Evaluation
Pilot or trial agreement, with the security and data terms your buyer's review is about to ask for already in it.
Negotiation
Standard MSA drafted or redlined in one business day; counterparty paper reviewed against the fallback positions we set with you in advance.
Close
Order form, signature routing, and the executed set filed where diligence will look for it a year from now.

Priced separately

Two kinds of work sit outside the retainer, because neither is recurring and neither can be quoted by the month.

Financings
Priced rounds, SAFEs, convertible notes, and the closing set that goes with them. Quoted per round once we have seen the term sheet.
Litigation
Disputes, demands, and class actions, on either side of the caption. Quoted per phase after a case assessment.
