GENERAL LEGAL STRATEGY SESSION 50 minutes | $349

This isn't a sales pitch. It's a working session.

If you have a pressing legal question or you're ready to get serious about your business's legal foundation, this is where we start. We'll identify your key legal issues and leave you with a clear, actionable strategy — not a vague promise to follow up after you sign a retainer.

This session is the right fit if you are:

• An entrepreneur who wants to get ahead of legal problems instead of reacting to them
• A business owner preparing to sell and want to clean up legal issues before you go to market
• A growing company that needs outside general counsel without the full-time overhead
• A business owner dealing with a specific legal issue and need to know your options

You'll leave with a plan. Not a pitch.

EMPLOYMENT LAW VALUATION & STRATEGY SESSION 50 minutes | $250

You think something went wrong at work. Before you do anything — talk to an attorney.

This session is for employees who believe their rights may have been violated and want an honest assessment of what they have before making any moves.

Here's what your $250 covers:

• A 50-minute consultation to walk through the facts, identify potential claims, and assess your damages
• Pre-consultation review of your timeline, intake form, and relevant documents
• Internal evaluation of your matter by our attorneys after the call
• A follow-up call with our honest assessment — what claims may exist, the realistic costs and benefits of pursuing them, our recommended next steps, and whether we can represent you

The earlier you involve an attorney, the more options you have. Don't act on a potential employment claim until you understand what you're working with.

A NOTE ON CONFIDENTIALITY

Please don't enter anything we share with you — or that you share with us — into AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or similar platforms. Sharing privileged or confidential communications with these tools can waive attorney-client privilege. That protection exists for your benefit. Don't give it up.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why would I pay for a legal consultation? Don't attorneys offer free consultations?

Some do. Here's what a free consultation actually is: a sales call. You won't get specific legal advice. You'll get a warm introduction to a firm and a pitch for a large retainer.

Our consultations are working sessions. You leave with real information and a strategy — not a follow-up email asking you to sign an engagement letter before anyone answers your questions.

Why virtual?

Our clients are busy. Virtual consultations are faster, more flexible, and just as effective. We use them because they work — not because we're cutting corners.

If you need an in-person meeting, we can accommodate that depending on attorney availability. Email [email protected] to arrange it.

What if BLG can't help me?

We won't book a consultation we can't deliver on. We only confirm appointments for matters that fall within our practice areas and where we're not aware of a conflict. If a conflict surfaces during the consultation, we'll refund your fee.

What is a fractional General Counsel?

A fractional GC is an experienced attorney who serves as your company's on-call legal advisor — without the cost of a full-time in-house hire. You get high-level legal guidance on contracts, compliance, risk, governance, IP, employment matters, and strategic decisions, scaled to what your business actually needs.

It's the right solution for growth-stage companies that need real legal support but aren't ready for a full legal department.

What does it cost to work with BLG?

It depends on the work. We offer flat fees for most transactional matters — formations, operating agreements, contract review and drafting, commercial lease review, employment agreements, handbooks, trademarks, M&A, liquor licensing, and more. The specifics depend on your situation, which is why we meet first.

After your consultation, we'll provide an engagement letter outlining the scope of work, applicable flat fees, and any required deposit. If you engage us within a week of your consultation, we'll credit the consultation fee toward your matter.

Litigation is typically billed hourly and requires a retainer. Some employment cases we take on contingency. See below.

Can you take my case on contingency?

Probably not — but possibly. We accept a limited number of employee-side employment matters on contingency when the facts are strong and the client is all in. That means truthful, responsive, and prepared for a fight.

The cases we're most interested in:

• Unequal pay
• Sexual harassment
• Racial discrimination
• Retaliation for reporting any of the above

If you want us to evaluate your employment case, complete our intake questionnaire. We'll waive the consultation fee for any potential client who submits it. If we can't take your case on contingency, we can offer a reduced hourly rate or advise you on how to handle it on your own.
