Exceptional service at reasonable rates
OUR FEES
We are open and transparent about our hourly rates and fees. Our smaller size and lower overhead allow us to keep our fees and rates reasonable and affordable, especially when compared to those of larger firms. In addition to billing on an hourly basis, we may offer flat/project fee billing options, may invest in client equity offerings and, under appropriate circumstances, may defer partial payment pending a transaction close.
General Corporate Representation
Acting as external general counsel for hundreds of businesses across a diverse range of industries, we understand, and know how, to navigate the ubiquitous and the unique challenges that businesses face. Our experience positions us to provide meaningful and practical advice.
