Thank you for considering Your Company as counsel to Your Client. This proposal describes how we'd work with you, what each fee arrangement covers, and the next steps.
[Summarize what you heard, for example: a growing software company with 30 employees and no in-house lawyer, where customer contracts, vendor agreements, and hiring questions are handled as they come up.]
The day-to-day legal work of a growing business: customer and vendor contracts, confidentiality agreements, offer letters and employment policies, corporate records and board consents, and questions as they arise.
Litigation, regulatory investigations, financings, acquisitions, and specialist tax or intellectual property work aren't included. We're happy to quote any of them separately.
Time is recorded in tenths of an hour. Work beyond an arrangement's included hours is billed at these rates.
Choose the arrangement that fits how you expect to use us. Filing fees, searches, and other costs are billed at cost under every option.
A monthly flat fee for ongoing advice, with up to 10 hours each month
