About Our Subscriptions

Your attorney should know your organization as well as you do. Traditional legal billing makes that impossible. When every phone call starts a billing clock, clients wait until problems are urgent before reaching out, and attorneys learn the situation from scratch each time. The result is reactive, expensive, and disconnected from the work that actually moves your organization forward.

  • The numbers tell the story. 67% of small business owners cite cost as the primary barrier to getting legal help. 58% of freelancers have worked without a written contract on at least some projects. Over 70% of freelancers have experienced non-payment.

  • Artists with legal representation earn 20–30% more from their deals on average. The difference between legal protection and legal exposure is often just access.

  • We built our subscription model to work differently. For a predictable monthly fee, you get a dedicated attorney who manages your contracts, corporate governance, intellectual property, and looks for opportunities as an integrated practice. The same attorney knows your compliance posture, your board structure, and your financial position. Our attorneys are trained to see your organization the way a founder does: legally sound, well-governed, and thinking ahead.

  • Not sure you need a full subscription? We also offer a DIY contract template store, A La Carte services, and a flat-fee Legal Basics Call: a 30-minute consultation to talk through your situation, answer questions, and help you figure out your next step. No further engagement required. For many of our clients, that one call is how the relationship starts.

  • Every subscription includes unlimited* email and phone access at no additional charge. We aim to acknowledge all communications within 24 hours and respond substantively within 3 business days. We don’t believe that you should be afraid of your lawyer, or be forced into a cost-benefit calculation of how much a phone call will cost you. We’re here to help. We maintain this policy because we want to hear about legal developments early, when a short conversation can prevent a costly problem.

    *For Pinned and On-Call subscribers, our responses will give you a clear picture of what type of issue you’re facing and what your options are.

  • All subscribers also receive a 20% discount on our published flat-fee services for any work beyond their plan's scope, so you never need to upgrade tiers just to handle a busy month. Your discount becomes available after your 60 day introductory period.

  • At the end of each quarter, any reserved capacity that wasn't called upon supports our Community Impact Fund, which provides pro bono and reduced-fee legal services to underserved artists, nonprofits, and startups.

  • The Firm reserves the right to modify subscription terms or terminate any subscription if, in the Firm's sole judgment, the subscription is being utilized in a manner inconsistent with its intended scope or purpose. In such event, any prepaid fees for the unexpired portion of the commitment period will be refunded.

  • Plans start at $100 per month. Continue month-to-month, or save when billing annually. Cancel anytime. Upgrades apply your remaining balance as a credit toward the new tier.

Who is a good fit for each subscription tier?

Pinned ($100/mo): You don’t need a lawyer every day, but you want one who knows you when something comes up. We keep your file current, watch for legal changes in your industry, and point you in the right direction when questions arise.

Brainstorming ($500/mo): You’re building something and need a legal foundation. Monthly contract draft, annual IP check, and a scheduled call to keep things moving.

Maintenance ($1,000/mo): You’re running an operation and need steady legal support. Contract review with markup and negotiation, governance checkup, annual report filing, and two calls a month to stay in sync. Our most popular tier.

Growth ($3,000/mo): You have a team, a budget, and ambitions that need real legal infrastructure. 3 contract reviews, 3 contract drafts, IP monitoring, monthly IP review, compliance tune-up, and three calls a month.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Traditional hourly billing creates a bad incentive: clients avoid calling their attorney because every email and phone call costs money. That means legal issues go unaddressed until they become expensive problems. Our subscription model flips that. You pay a predictable monthly fee, and we want you to reach out early and often. We'd rather spend 10 minutes helping you avoid a bad contract than 10 hours cleaning up after one.

  • Two reasons: predictability and timing.

    On predictability, you know exactly what your legal costs are each month. No surprise invoices, no anxiety about whether a 15-minute question is going to show up on a bill. You budget for it the same way you budget for insurance or accounting. For us, predictable revenue means we can staff appropriately, maintain familiarity with your organization year-round, and deliver faster, better work because we're not starting from scratch every time you call. Over time, we build a mutual relationship and better understand exactly your needs and how we can help.

    On timing, the firms that call us only when something breaks spend more money and get worse outcomes than the firms that talk to us regularly. A subscription keeps us in the loop early, when a five-minute conversation can prevent a five-figure problem, instead of onboarding for each new matter.

  • Every subscriber receives a 20% discount on our published flat-fee menu for any services performed outside their subscription scope. The discount becomes available after your first 60 days as a subscriber.

    For example: If you're on the Growth Counsel plan and need an additional trademark filed, you don't need to upgrade to a higher tier. You simply request the service at your discounted rate.

    The tiers cover your baseline needs; the discount handles the rest.

  • Your subscription secures our availability and dedicated capacity for you, similar to a traditional retainer. You're paying for access to your legal team whenever you need us, not for a fixed quantity of deliverables. If you don't need us for contract review in a particular month, that's a good thing.

    Any capacity that wasn't called upon is released, and the firm directs a corresponding contribution to our Community Impact Fund, which provides pro bono and reduced-fee legal services to underserved Pennsylvania nonprofits and early-stage social enterprises.

    Your fees are not donated. The firm allocates its own resources toward community service in connection with capacity that was reserved but not needed. We would much rather help those who need it instead of sitting idle.

  • We negotiate custom scopes for ongoing work relationships regularly. If your organization has needs that don't map neatly onto a tier, whether that's a heavier contract volume, a specialized compliance requirement, a multi-entity structure, or a grant calendar that demands more than quarterly proposals, we'll build a custom engagement with defined deliverables and predictable monthly pricing. Reach out and tell us what you need, and we'll put together a proposal.

  • In today’s world, if you just need legal answers, you can search them up and get good results. We built this firm to serve the communities that we ourselves live in.

    Every subscriber is assigned a dedicated attorney who learns your organization, your contracts, your board, your funding strategy, and your goals. When you reach out, you reach someone who already knows your situation. Contract reviews are specific to your agreements with your counterparties. Opportunity assessments evaluate your actual governance and financials. Policy documents are tailored to your organizational structure and operations.

    We maintain template libraries that accelerate our work and keep your costs down, but the advice and deliverables are specific to you. This is a law firm relationship.

  • Pinned ($100/mo): You don’t need a lawyer every day, but you want one who knows you when something comes up. We keep your file current, watch for legal changes in your industry, and point you in the right direction when questions arise.

    Brainstorming ($500/mo): You’re building something and need a legal foundation.

    Maintenance ($1,000/mo): You’re running an operation and need steady legal support. Our most popular tier.

    Growth ($3,000/mo): You have a team, a budget, and ambitions that need real legal infrastructure.

  • Absolutely, and many of our clients do. Starting at Pinned or Maintenance lets us learn your organization and build a legal foundation. When your needs grow, upgrading is seamless, and your remaining prepaid balance carries forward as a credit.

  • A regular roundup of events, funding sources, programs, potential partnerships, and resources we spot that fit your goals. It’s informational, so we can’t promise results, and we’ll never introduce you to anyone without asking first.

    Tailored opportunities are distilled from dedicated research by our team of things that would uniquely benefit you and your position. We want you to succeed in your mission.

  • We built this practice around organizations that most large firms overlook and most solo practitioners can't fully serve: solo creatives and entrepreneurs, small nonprofits, early-stage social enterprises, and mission-driven small businesses. We designed our business model specifically to educate and empower our clients, and keep them in the conversation all stages from ideation to retirement. You can read about what it’s like to work with us on our public Standard Terms of Engagement.

    Three things set us apart.

    First, we don't charge for communication. You can call or email us without worrying about a billing clock. We want to be the first call you make when something comes up, not the last.

    Second, we designed our subscription model at a price built for your reality. We work with artists and organizations operating on tight budgets. You get a genuine law firm relationship, with a dedicated attorney, for a price you can actually afford.

    Third, we have been in your shoes and designed our offerings holistically. The person drafting your contracts already knows your corporate governance, IP posture, and compliance status firsthand, not from a briefing memo. That integrated perspective means your organization presents to funders exactly the way it should: legally sound and funder-ready.

  • Yes. If you need to upgrade, any remaining prepaid months at your current tier apply as a dollar-for-dollar credit toward the higher tier. For example, if you're on Maintenance ($1,000/mo) and you upgrade to Growth ($3,000/mo), your $2,000 credit applies to the first month at the new tier. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current commitment period with 30 days' notice.

  • No. All government filing fees are pass-through expenses billed at cost. This includes USPTO trademark and copyright filing fees, state incorporation and annual report fees, and any other fees charged by government agencies.

    We will always notify you of expected filing fees before incurring them. Our subscription covers the firm's labor; we do not mark up hard costs.

  • The Community Impact Fund is our firm's commitment to pro bono and reduced-fee legal work for underserved artists, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and early-stage enterprises that cannot afford legal representation.

    When our subscribers don't need to use all of the capacity we've reserved for them, we direct a corresponding contribution from our own resources to the Fund. The Fund supports work like nonprofit incorporation, 501(c)(3) applications, basic contract review, and governance setup for unfunded organizations.

    We report aggregate quarterly contributions in our client communications so subscribers can see the community impact their relationship with the firm helps make possible.

    To be clear, your subscription fees are not donated. You pay for access and availability. The firm decides how to allocate its resources when that capacity isn't called upon, and we choose to direct it toward organizations that need legal help but can't afford it.

  • Yes. Every subscriber is assigned a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney who maintains ongoing familiarity with your organization, your contracts, your governance, and your goals. This is not a document review service or a legal helpline. It is a law firm relationship with a dedicated team.

  • Want to know what a document says and what to watch for? That’s a Review.

    Need it changed, redlined, or written from scratch? That’s a Draft. A Draft always includes the Review, and you can use a Draft as a Review anytime.

    Drafts include contracts, as well as letters like a demand or cease and desist.

  • Contracts, redlines, updates to our templates, and letters such as payment demands, cease-and-desist letters, and formal notices.

    Each Draft includes one round of revisions and one round of responding to the other side. If a letter turns into a dispute, we’ll talk with you about the next steps separately.

  • No worries! A Review covers one document of any length. If something is unusually large or complex, we’ll talk through options with you before anything counts extra.

  • No. All subscribers have unlimited access to their assigned attorney at no additional charge.

    We maintain this policy because we want to hear about legal developments when they first appear, not after they've escalated. Your instinct to call us should never be weighed against a billing concern.

    For Pinned and On-Call subscribers, our responses will give you a clear picture of what type of issue you’re facing and what your options are. For in-depth analysis, you can schedule a Legal Basics Call or purchase a flat-fee service at your 20% subscriber discount (after your 60 day introductory period).

  • The Legal Basics Call is a 30-minute scheduled consultation where you can ask legal questions, talk through a situation, and get practical guidance from a licensed attorney.

    We send you a brief Q&A form in advance so your attorney can prepare and make the most of your time. The call is designed for clarity and direction, not ongoing engagement. If you need follow-up work (a contract drafted, a filing prepared, a deeper analysis), we'll tell you what that looks like and quote it from our flat-fee menu at your subscriber discount.

    The Legal Basics Call is included once per month in the On-Call tier and above. It's also available as a standalone one-time flat-fee service for $150 to anyone, subscriber or not.

  • Yes. We operate a DIY contract template store with ready-to-use documents you can customize for your own needs, including independent contractor agreements, NDAs, service agreements, and more.

    If you want to talk through how to use a template or have questions about your specific situation, the $150 Legal Basics Call (included monthly in On-Call and above) is designed for exactly that.
