Big corporations (including non-profits) can afford to hire teams of in-house attorneys to handle their legal needs. As a small non-profit organization, you probably can't afford to have an attorney on your payroll full-time. But you should still have a relationship with a non-profit attorney who can answer your legal questions and be proactive in making sure your organization has minimized its legal risks.

The Fine Print:
- General Counsel fees are locked in for one year, unless, of course, you reach your hours cap. Each year, the Firm reserves the right to review your use of the Service and update your monthly or annual fee accordingly. We will always get your consent in writing prior to any fee changes.
- Third Party fees are additional and will be billed separately.
- Standard business contracts are typically no more than 10 pages and excludes commercial leases, property or business purchase agreements, franchise documents, investor offering documents, SaaS terms of service, and licensing agreements. If your organization needs these more complex agreements, you should consider the Established Non-Profits service level.
- Monthly clients may cancel at any time. Just let us know before your next scheduled payment runs.
- General Counsel Service does NOT include any litigation and dispute resolution (including the preparation of pleadings) or negotiations with third parties that may lead to litigation. Such services are generally billed hourly and may require an additional retainer to ensure payment.
- All fees and services described on this site are for information purposes only and are subject to change at any time. Until we have both a signed Engagement Agreement and your initial payment, the Firm reserves the right to quote you a new or different fee for services based on the unique legal needs of your business or non-profit organization.
Traditional Hourly Rates
Where flat fees don't make sense, the Firm works on the traditional retainer basis. For general business needs, the Firm requires a replenishing retainer of $2,000/$1,000. The Firm bills at the hourly rate of $275 per hour for all attorney time and $125 per hour for all paralegal/law clerk time. The Firm bills in tenths of an hour increments. The Firm may from time to time require a larger retainer or replenishment in anticipation of significant work that the Firm reasonably believes cannot be covered by the standard retainer amount.
