Ongoing Legal Support for Growing Startups

As your startup grows, legal questions don't arrive one at a time. You're negotiating contracts, hiring employees, protecting IP, raising capital, working with customers and making decisions that can have long-term implications for your business.

You may not need a full-time in-house lawyer yet. But you need more than a lawyer you call only when something goes wrong.

Meyer Law's General Counsel Packages for Startups give you an experienced legal team that gets to know your business and provides ongoing, practical legal support as you grow.

You get predictable monthly pricing, dedicated legal support and attorneys who understand startups — without the cost of building an in-house legal department.

Who This Package Is For

Our General Counsel Packages are designed for startups that:

• Have ongoing legal needs throughout the month
• Regularly negotiate customer, vendor or partnership agreements
• Are hiring employees or contractors
• Are raising capital or preparing for future investment
• Need ongoing corporate, employment, IP, privacy or compliance guidance
• Want attorneys who understand their business instead of starting from scratch every time
• Want more predictable legal spending
• Aren't ready to hire a full-time in-house legal team

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Meyer Law instead of hiring an in-house attorney?

For many startups, hiring an experienced full-time attorney isn't necessary or cost-effective yet. Our General Counsel packages give you access to an experienced business law team across multiple practice areas without the salary, benefits and overhead associated with building an in-house legal department.

What can I use my monthly hours for?

Your hours can generally be used for legal services within Meyer Law's areas of practice, including contracts, corporate matters, employment, IP, privacy, fundraising and strategic counsel. Certain specialized matters, filing fees, third-party costs or projects may be outside the package scope.

Do I work with the same attorneys?

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of an ongoing relationship is having a legal team that gets to know your company, business model and priorities rather than starting over each time you need legal help.

Can I change packages as my needs change?

Yes. Your legal needs will change as your company grows, and we can adjust your level of support accordingly.

What happens if I need more than my included hours?

If you need additional legal support beyond your monthly package, we'll charge your then-current hourly rate for the overage.

Are filing fees or third-party expenses included?

No. Government filing fees and other third-party expenses are separate.
