Fees
Fees. Agreed in writing before the work starts.
We do not publish rates. Every engagement is scoped in writing first, so you know how the fee works before we begin.
How fees work
Know how the fee works before the work starts.
- 01A conversation, then a written scope
- Every engagement starts with a short call and a written scope: what we will do, what you will receive, and how the fee works. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- 02Predictable work, quoted first
- Where the work is predictable, such as a defined agreement or set of agreements, a contract system build, a formation, or ongoing outside counsel, we quote a fixed or monthly fee before we start.
- 03Disputes, after an assessment
- A dispute depends on the facts, the other side, and how complex it becomes, so we do not price it in advance. After an initial assessment, we give you a fee arrangement in writing, and we tell you before the scope changes.
- 04Less rote time on the bill
- The technology does the reading, cross-checking, and first drafts that would otherwise be billed by the hour. Your fee pays for a lawyer's judgment and accountability.
