A few things to knowStart where
Start where
you are.
Can you support a new business initiative?
Yes. We help companies develop new business concepts, service lines, operating models, and launch plans. The work can include formation planning and coordination with your legal and tax advisors.
Can you help implement the recommendations?
Yes. Engagements can include workflow design, system configuration, operating documentation, collateral development, and campaign management. We agree on scope and responsibilities before the work begins.
How does legal operations support work with our counsel?
Our focus is the operation of your legal function: contract processes, systems, documentation, reporting, and coordination. We work alongside your legal team and outside counsel, who retain responsibility for legal advice and representation.
Can AI be part of an operations project?
Yes. We can assess opportunities within a broader legal or business operations engagement and build a focused plan for AI assistance, human review, and team adoption.
How are retainers and total fees determined?
Each engagement is shaped around your priorities, deliverables, and the level of support you need. Explore our Engagements & Investment page for project options, retainers, and minimum commitments. We confirm the scope and investment in a tailored proposal before work begins.
