The benefits of HeyCounsel explained
Sure, relying on a full-service “big-law” firm is attractive. They’ll make you feel like they can do everything. You can lean on them to source lawyers from their own internal departments, and they’ll get the job done. But there are several hidden (and not so hidden) costs to this approach, especially for early stage companies:
Great “convenience” comes with high legal spend (it’s better to not look at that deferred fees bill 🙈)
Being a small fish in big ocean means a lack of personal attention and long wait times
They’ll always pair you with their lawyer for “X”, but that’s not always the best lawyer for “X”. Boutique firms are better for many niches
Relying on yourself to pull together the right cast of characters isn’t any better. You’re not a legal expert, and you didn’t start a company to become one. Of course it’s good to be hands on, but there are costs to doing it all yourself. These are:
A higher potential for expensive unforced errors, like choosing bad counsel or failing to spot issues that require counsel
The time and energy suck finding lawyers for “X”
The opportunity cost of not spending your time building
With HeyCounsel, you get the Goldilocks solution. We help you source your legal team by demystifying the legal buying process, and then we help you translate requirements into actionable next steps with your platform attorney(s). Working with our platform lawyers means…
Incentives are aligned because the lawyers you find here don’t need to hit a quota of billable hours (see Scenario 1)
You get to work with an industry veteran with in-house experience (they understand how to work within a budget)
You get a full-service feel at a more affordable price
It’s time to meet your forever lawyer
The lawyers you’ll find here are seasoned solo or boutique firm lawyers that come from BigLaw backgrounds and corporations you know well. They sought more freedom and control, so they run their own practices now. This means they can work on flexible payment structures such as monthly subscriptions, flat fees, and even equity.
