Six ways we put judgment to work.

From the first foundational contract to a sell-side exit, we cover the legal terrain a technology company crosses. Each engagement is scoped to the decision in front of you, not padded to fill a retainer.

The full deck

Every instrument, struck in foil.

Fit triage

Useful when the question needs judgment.

Every inquiry is triaged the way a matter would be. If it belongs on the docket, you hear yes. If another counsel would serve you better, you hear that instead, with a name where we have one.

Docket // Accepted

You are shipping, buying, or governing AI and need a defensible position.

Fit

A customer, vendor, investor, or acquirer is asking serious legal questions.

Fit

Your contract volume is growing and the current process is slowing the business.

Fit

You need senior technology counsel, but not a full-time general counsel.

Fit
Referrals // Better elsewhere

You need litigation counsel, tax advice, immigration advice, or criminal defense.

Refer

You are looking for a generic document template without legal review.

Refer

The matter is urgent, confidential, and cannot wait for a conflicts check.

Refer

The work is outside technology, data, commercial contracts, or transactions.

Matter files

The kinds of work we are brought in to solve.

Six files pulled from the kinds of matters this practice runs. They are illustrative matter types, not client results or guarantees. The common thread is a technology business facing a decision that needs to be documented, negotiated, or defended.

AI / ProductFile // AI-01

Customer-facing AI launch

Reviewing model use, data flows, terms, disclosures, and internal guardrails before an AI feature reaches enterprise customers.

Illustrative

SaaS contract system

Building customer terms, order forms, fallback positions, and internal playbooks so routine deals stop bottlenecking on legal.

Illustrative
Tech transactionsFile // TT-04

Data or platform deal

Illustrative
M&AFile // MA-05

Sell-side diligence readiness

Preparing contracts, IP, data, vendor issues, and founder risk points before a buyer or investor begins diligence.

Illustrative
Fractional GCFile // GC-06

Embedded operating rhythm

Owning recurring legal decisions, triage, contract flow, and specialist-counsel coordination for teams without in-house counsel.

Engagement sequence

How we scope and price.

We match the engagement to the decision in front of you. The first step is a fit check, not a billable project, and every matter starts only after conflicts are cleared and terms are agreed in writing.

Seq // 01

Fit check first

We confirm whether the question sits inside our focus and whether we are the right counsel for it before asking for confidential detail.

No charge
Seq // 02

Conflicts cleared

We check conflicts before taking a matter. If we cannot act, we say so early and keep the exchange limited.

Before substance
Seq // 03

Written engagement

An attorney-client relationship begins only after a signed engagement letter defines the client, matter, scope, and fees.

In writing
Seq // 04

Fixed-fee projects

Discrete work such as policy builds, contract systems, DPA reviews, and diligence preparation, scoped to a defined output.

Fixed fee
Seq // 05

Retainers and fractional GC

Ongoing legal judgment on a monthly structure when the need is recurring, embedded, or cross-functional.
