Core Practice Areas

The work we take on.

Outside General Counsel Subscription

Pick the level of support you want each month. Your operating budget sets your tier — and your rate — so the only choice you make is how many hours you need.


One predictable monthly fee, priority access, and a lawyer who knows your organization, without the headaches or expense of a full-time General Counsel hire.

Project-Based Counsel

Providing legal support for a particular area of need at an affordable hourly rate tied to your operating budget. Rates range from $230 to $390 per hour.


Available for all practice areas and for nonprofits and charter and private independent schools.

Flat-Fee Work

We offer several flat-fee packages for common issues (entity formation, governance overhaul, employment policy refresh, IRS tax-exempt reinstatement) to simplify the legal process.


We can also quote a flat fee up front for finite projects so that you can budget without surprises.
