Drafting, redlines, trackingWhat Big Law charges for is judgment. What it bills for is hours. We've separated the two — partner-level counsel, AI leverage underneath, flat fees on top.
Every engagement runs through an experienced attorney. No associate-led drafting, no junior-led negotiations.
A practice intelligence layer drafts, reviews, and tracks deal documents. What used to take an associate a week takes a senior partner an afternoon.
Subscription GC and per-deliverable flat fees. No clock, no surprise invoices, no incentive to drag out the work.
Day-to-day legal — commercial contracts, employment, corporate governance — covered by a monthly subscription. No hourly bills, partner-level attention at a predictable cost.
Formations, SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced rounds (Seed through Series C). Flat fees agreed upfront. NVCA standard with deviations explained, not buried.
Acquisitions, exits, and strategic transactions for venture-backed companies. Diligence, drafting, and negotiation run by senior counsel from kickoff to close.
We stay with you — from your first SAFE through your priced rounds and eventually your exit. The deal you do at Series A is the diligence you face at the sale.
High-quality legal advice, delivered with AI leverage, at affordable and predictable rates. Flat fees per deliverable, or subscription-based outside GC services. No hourly bills. No metered email. No surprise invoices at month-end.
We stay with you — from your first SAFE through your priced rounds and eventually your exit. The same senior attorney who knows why your founders' vesting was structured a particular way is the one who handles the buyer's diligence. That continuity is rare, and it's the part of Big Law that's actually worth paying for.
Underneath sits a practice intelligence layer we've built ourselves: a drafting engine, a deviation corpus, and a deal-tracking substrate that turns associate-level work into infrastructure. Senior judgment plus AI leverage is how we charge flat fees for work competitors still bill hourly.
