ALTERNATIVE & TRADITIONAL BILLING
“... Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.”
~Tony Robbins
Flexible billing for clients with diverse needs. Five billing models, including traditional hourly billing, straight flat fees (fixed rates for specified matters), time-capped flat fees for M&A and other deals, packages for startups, and several alternative billing models, reflect my entrepreneurial approach to serving clients throughout the organizational life cycle. Billing arrangements are memorialized in a formal services contract between you and the firm.

Startup Packages
You choose from a suite of flat-fee service bundles specifically designed for startups. The goal is to balance the demands of the strict budget of a startup with the need to structure a new venture intelligently. Click here for more details on Startup Packages.
Flat Fee
Fixed-fee billing provides certainty in the client's legal budget. In addition to flat-fee packages for startups, other matters are often appropriate for flat-rate billing (including business transactions).
Time-Capped Flat Fees for M&A & Other Deals
For significant transactions with unpredictable timelines, time-capped flat fees provide budget certainty while sharing cost risk. The fee covers a defined scope of work up to an agreed number of hours, offering clients substantial savings compared to traditional hourly billing. Whether selling a business, raising capital, or entering major commercial agreements, this model provides predictable pricing for deal work. Click here for more details on M&A Fees.
Hourly Rates
Hourly rates are traditional in the legal industry. Although alternative billing can offer great advantages client and lawyer, sometimes hourly rates are preferable. But, there are still creative means to approach hourly billing. I offer three hourly-rate fee models.
Concierge Billing
For organizational clients with significant but unpredictable long-term legal needs, or the need for regular, go-to outside counsel on a strict budget, in exchange for an annual or semi-annual fee, concierge legal services are provided with virtually no cap on hours and few limits.
Monthly Subscription
One of our most collaborative models, subscription billing can result in lower effective rates, and act as a preventative measure, helping client and lawyer spot issues that may otherwise have gone overlooked. This model also allowing us to get to know your business more intimately over time without the worry of the proverbial ticking clock. Click here for more details on Monthly Subscriptions.

🇺🇸 MILITARY AND VETERAN RATES
I offer significant discounts to clients who are veterans, active duty military, military dependents, and Gold Star family members.
