We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear and timely communication, tailored advice to help you make your best business decisions, and reliable and consistent results. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart. We do so at a SmallLaw price, even though many of the staff here are ex-BigLaw.

Our attorneys bill at a rate of $650-750 per hour, depending on company size/stage. Generally speaking, for companies that are pre-revenue or pre-Series A (i.e., $10M+) in venture capital financing, we charge the lower rate. All others (with revenue and/or financing) are charged the $750/hour rate.
We request a 10-hour replenishable and refundable deposit at the inception of representation, which makes us a fit for growing companies who seek a lower-cost option to BigLaw.
After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a written estimate, and any amounts invoiced are deducted from the deposit.
When the retainer is depleted to the last $650-750, we ask that you replenish in the original amount or an amount we agree to in writing. -
