We offer fixed fee charging for standalone matters; and a fractional, subscription based model for ongoing, business-as-usual services. For this price, you get continuity of services with an experienced commercial lawyer.
In both cases, we agree to the charges up front, so you know what it will cost you. We don't do hourly billing.
Do you have trouble keeping up with sales contract demands? Do you wish you could phone a lawyer friend for tricky questions? Are you being pushed around by enterprise customers asking for contract changes? Are you getting legal advice from ChatGPT?
We offer fractional support on a subscription/retainer basis to do any operational legal work, and to provide sound commercial legal advice. We can do any operational legal work that comes in the door (within our areas of expertise), manage any matters that need specialist advice (such as litigation), and when things are quieter, work on the important-but-not-urgent pile of things you don't have time to get to (such as getting your house in order for when an investor comes knocking).
If you don't want to commit to the fractional model, we can offer individual matters for an agreed fixed price.
We offer our fractional customers access to a growing library of legal content, guides and templates designed by start up and scale-up businesses (being short documents with balanced risk positions).
At Resident Legal, we don't want you to need to rely on us forever, or for everything. We want to act like your legal training wheels, but they need to come off someday.
You might get more confident with legal risks, or you could grow to the point where you need a full time in-house counsel. Scale your subscription up or down month to month without charge, or end your subscription with notice. We will even help with your recruitment process.
