Startup Legal Package (SLP)

Your All-in-One Legal Solution to Build and Scale Your Startup

The Startup Legal Package (the “SLP”) is a comprehensive, fixed-fee legal service

Next Steps: How to Get Started with the SLP:

Getting started with the SLP is simple and straightforward. We’ve designed the process to be seamless, ensuring you can focus on building your business while we handle the legal details.

Step 1: Introductory Call. Start with a complimentary introductory call. This is a no-
obligation conversation where we learn about your business, your goals, and how the SLP can help. It’s an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to ensure the SLP is the right fit for your needs.

Step 2: Conflicts Check. Once you’re ready to proceed, we’ll conduct a conflicts check to confirm that we can represent your company. This step ensures compliance with professional ethics and allows us to move forward with confidence.

Step 3: Engagement Letter and Initial Payment. After the conflicts check, we’ll send you an engagement letter outlining the terms of our services. This document formalizes our relationship and ensures transparency regarding deliverables, timelines, and fees. Upon signing the engagement letter, an initial payment of $2,500 is due to begin work on your deliverables.

Step 4: Discovery Call. Next, we’ll schedule a discovery call to dive deeper into your business. We’ll gather the information needed to tailor the SLP to your specific needs and ensure all deliverables align with your goals.

Step 5: Deliverables and Final Payment. Once the discovery process is complete, we’ll get to work on the deliverables included in the SLP. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and provide opportunities for feedback to make sure everything is just right. Upon completion of all deliverables, the remaining $2,500 payment is due.

Step 6: Optional Ongoing Advisory Services. After completing the SLP package, you can choose to continue receiving high-touch legal and advisory services for
$5,000/month. This month-to-month service is flexible, with a one-month notice
required to cancel.

The ongoing advisory services include:

1. General Counsel Services: Continuous legal guidance to navigate new
   challenges, opportunities, and evolving business needs.
2. Strategic Connections: Weekly introductions to bankers, auditors, consultants, and potential clients to expand your network.
3. Exclusive Opportunities: Invitations to industry events, networking
   opportunities, media appearances, and curated growth opportunities tailored to
   your business.
