Tell us what you need

+2h
Meet matched counsel

Matched on domain, not availability — real profiles, bar admissions, rates.

Live
Engage directly

Flat fee / project-based, hourly, contingency, it's up to you. Work directly with the lawyer, not a middleman.

Engagement types

Work your way

Every matter has a shape — ongoing, one-off, or somewhere in between. Pick the engagement that fits yours.

Ongoing · part-time
Fractional GC

Part-time general counsel embedded in your team — the senior legal brain, without the full-time hire.

Bounded scope
Project-based

A defined scope for a flat fee — a fundraise, a policy build, a migration — priced before the work starts.

Flexes week to week
Hourly

Classic hourly counsel for matters that flex week to week, billed for exactly the time they take.

Steady · always-on
Subscription

A predictable monthly plan for steady legal support — the everyday questions, redlines, and reviews.
