The Approach: Business-First Legal Counsel
Legal advice that ignores business reality isn't useful. Good counsel understands that:
- Deals need to close. Contracts should protect without killing transactions. The goal is signed agreements, not perfect documents.
- Speed matters. Startups move fast. Legal can't be the bottleneck. Responsiveness and practical advice trump theoretical perfection.
- Context is everything. A Series A term sheet review is different from reviewing a Fortune 500 enterprise deal. Advice should match the situation.
- Relationships are assets. Long-term client relationships mean understanding the business deeply—not starting from scratch every engagement.
This isn't about being a pushover. It's about knowing what matters and fighting the right battles.

Primarily technology companies, SaaS businesses, and startups—from pre-revenue founders to growth-stage companies with established revenue. Also work with professional services firms, e-commerce businesses, and companies in regulated industries. The common thread: businesses that value responsive, practical legal counsel.
Depends on the matter. Discrete projects (entity formation, contract drafting) are typically flat-fee. Ongoing support often works best as a monthly retainer. Complex transactions or litigation are usually hourly with regular budget updates. Fee arrangements are discussed upfront—no surprises.
Project work is discrete: draft this contract, review that term sheet, form this entity. Outside general counsel is ongoing: a dedicated attorney relationship for all legal needs, typically on monthly retainer. OGC clients get priority response and deep familiarity with their business.
Standard response time is within 4 business hours. Most contract reviews completed within 48-72 hours depending on complexity. Rush work is accommodated when possible. Turnaround expectations are set at the start of each engagement.
