General counsel by the month

Some companies need a lawyer every week but not a lawyer on staff. For them we act as general counsel by the month: the contracts, the board consents, the employee questions and the call before a decision, not after it.

Clementine leads these engagements, with Ambrose and Cyprian brought in when a sale or a dispute comes up.

What a month of counsel covers

A single monthly fee, and a written list of what sits outside it.

  • 01

    Contracts

    Customer, vendor and services agreements reviewed or drafted, usually within three business days.

  • 02

    Governance

    Board and member consents, the annual minutes and the cap table kept current.

  • 03

    People

    Offer letters, contractor agreements and the questions that come up when someone leaves.

  • 04

    A standing call

    Thirty minutes every other week, and a direct line in between.

The fee

One fee a month

Quoted after the first call, and the same each month.

  • Counsel by the month

    For companies of up to about fifty people.

    • Contracts and governance

    • Employee questions

    • A standing call every other week

    Ask about this fee
  • Month to month

    Thirty days' notice to stop.

  • Outside the monthly fee

    A sale, a financing or a dispute is quoted separately, at the practice's own flat fee.
