No surprise billing. Deal work is flat-fee. Advisory work draws down a monthly minimum at a discounted rate. If scope changes, I flag it before the bill changes.
Monthly minimum, not retainer. Your monthly minimum is applied against work at discounted menu prices. You're paying for what you get, with a floor — and everything is cheaper than menu rates.
Deal work is flat-fee. Advisory work draws down the minimum. Customer contracts, vendor reviews, NDAs, and contractor agreements are priced from the menu and covered through signature. Advisory questions, product/privacy counseling, employment basics, and other non-deal work are billed at $950/hour (less your discount) against the monthly minimum. If scope changes or a deal heads outside the quoted fee, I flag it before continuing.
Priority access. Committed clients get guaranteed response times on Slack and faster deal turnaround. Higher commitments, faster response.
The promise: One price covers the whole deal — every document, every round, until signature. No per-document billing. No hourly surprises.
If a deal turns into something materially different than we scoped — a hostile counterparty, a new workstream, a months-long stall — I'll tell you before anything changes, and we'll re-price together. You'll never get a surprise bill.
Deal work only. Litigation, regulatory, tax, and M&A aren't in my wheelhouse — but I'll connect you with the right specialist.
