  • You are hiring people, signing customers, or bringing in a partner
  • You have built something worth protecting and want it locked down

You will want someone else if

Section 01Pick a job
01

What you can get sorted

Clear jobs, fixed prices, no lawyer on retainer. Pick one. An email and a line is enough to get a price back, usually same day.

Nothing is booked and nothing is owed. You will get a price and what's involved, usually same day.

Section 02How it works
02

What you get

2.1

The price before the work

You agree the work and the price before anything starts. No charging by the hour, so the invoice holds no surprises.

2.2

An answer in writing

Something you can read, keep and forward, not a meeting you have to write up afterwards.

2.3

A view on what matters

Every contract carries risk. You will get it ranked: what's worth arguing about, and what you can sign and forget.

Section 03Background
03

Who you are hiring

You are hiring a commercial lawyer who has spent years in-house at venture-backed scaleups, on the side of the table that answers the investor's questions rather than asks them, and who runs his own businesses too.

So you get advice that counts the cost in time and momentum, not just in risk. Sometimes the right answer is to sign it and move on. You will be told when that is the case.
