Here's what that looks like on an actual matter.
Example
Reviewing and Negotiating a Vendor Agreement
1
Scope
A founder messages us on Telegram: “Can you handle this vendor agreement?” Within an hour, we respond with a fixed fee and timeline. Once approved, we're underway.

Technology
Our advanced technology reviews the agreement, prepares an initial redline, and identifies the legal and commercial issues that matter.

Judgment
An experienced attorney verifies and refines the redline, sends the founder a concise summary of key decisions, and leads negotiations with the vendor. The attorney keeps the founder informed and obtains approval on material concessions.

Pricing
Predictable Pricing for Your Needs
We start with the outcome you need and work backward to determine the resources required to deliver it. Most work can be scoped and offered at a fixed fee. When the work is less predictable, our minimal overhead and expert use of technology allows us to bill at hourly rates 1/3 lower than traditional firms.
