Project Management

Phase 1 - Onboarding

We begin with comprehensive onboarding including portal setup, learning about your business, understanding your products and services, and integration into your team. We establish communication channels and workflows that work for your organization.

Phase 2 - Ramp-up

During ramp-up, we draft and negotiate your core legal documents, build your custom template library, and code your frequently-used templates into the portal for easy self-service generation. We develop processes and document automation tools tailored to your specific needs.

Phase 3 - Operational

Once operational, we seamlessly handle your day-to-day legal work. Log tickets through the portal, schedule meetings with our team, generate documents from templates, and receive responsive, commercial legal advice that keeps your business moving forward.

Our offering is designed to provide clients with a fixed price that scales each month based on workload, using a Managed Services subscription model:

• Monthly Subscription: You start each month at the Starter level, which has a minimum monthly fee and includes a certain amount of legal services
• Automatic Scaling: If you exceed the included amount during the month, you automatically move to the next subscription level, gaining more value
• Monthly Reset: At the beginning of the next month, you start again at the Starter level, regardless of the previous month's usage
