General Counsel Services

Ongoing Legal Support for Your Business — Structured, Practical, and Predictable

Make informed decisions, reduce legal risk, and access consistent guidance—without the uncertainty of hourly billing.

Most legal issues do not begin in court. They arise from everyday decisions—entering agreements, structuring transactions, or navigating obligations without clear legal guidance.

How the Process Works

  1. Initial Consultation
    We discuss your business, legal needs, and determine whether this service is appropriate.
  2. Service Alignment
    We recommend a suitable tier based on your anticipated needs.
  3. Retainer & Onboarding
    A formal retainer agreement is provided outlining scope, expectations, and next steps.
  4. Ongoing Support

A Structured Approach

To maintain quality and responsiveness, services are provided within a defined scope and subject to fair use.

Work outside of scope may be addressed separately and discussed in advance.

Additional Consideration

Many businesses treat ongoing legal services as part of their operating expenses where permitted under applicable tax rules.

The treatment of legal fees depends on individual circumstances, and certain expenses may be treated differently.

We recommend confirming the appropriate treatment with your accountant or tax advisor.
