Build the Business
A Lawyer Who Already Knows Your Business
Outside general counsel for businesses that need a lawyer who already understands the company, its contracts, its risk tolerance, and how it operates.
When the same business is signing deals, hiring people, launching products, licensing IP, and making legal decisions every month, starting from zero with a new lawyer each time becomes inefficient.
Ongoing counsel gives growing creator and digital media businesses access to a lawyer who understands the company, its contracts, its risk tolerance, and how decisions fit together.
Who Ongoing Counsel Is For
Ongoing counsel may be a fit for established creators with frequent deals, creator-led companies, management companies, creator agencies, media companies, production companies, digital businesses with recurring commercial contracts, and selected startups that do not need full-time in-house counsel.
What Ongoing Counsel Can Include
Depending on scope: routine contract review and negotiation, brand and commercial deals, licensing, contractor and collaborator agreements, IP strategy, trademark coordination, business-policy review, legal issue spotting, launch support, management or agency issues, outside-counsel coordination, and strategic legal advice.
Ongoing engagements are scoped around the client’s actual needs and the firm’s availability.
Why It Works
The value is not only faster contract review.
It is context.
A lawyer who already knows the client’s business can see when a new agreement conflicts with an old one, when a proposed term affects a different revenue stream, or when a short-term decision creates a long-term problem.
That context is difficult to recreate in one-off calls.
