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.
