Westchester County Flat Fee Business Lawyer
As they seek out opportunity, Westchester County business teams confront significant legal complexity and complication wherever they look.

Benefits of Hiring a Flat Fee Business Lawyer
As businesses discuss pricing with counsel, they may select flat fees as opposed to hourly rates or subscription models. The following engagements often lend themselves to flat fees:
- Incorporating or forming a business entity
- Developing legal agreement templates, including confidentiality agreements, master services agreements, offer letters, SaaS agreements, equity incentive plans, agreements for “sweat equity” compensation, severance agreements, independent contractor services agreements, release agreements, corporate governance documents and/or investment documents like simple agreements for future equity (“SAFEs”) and convertible notes
- Conducting certain “private” offerings of securities
- Reviewing existing agreements and other legal instruments like private placement memoranda and other disclosure documents
- Conducting due diligence in relation to fixed or “capped” quantities of documentation
As part of each of the initiatives referenced above, an attorney-client discussion of a fixed duration (for example, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour) might be included as part of the overall flat fee associated therewith.
