FAQs

Is this unlimited legal advice?

No. It’s a subscription with included counsel time so it’s predictable and sustainable. If you need more in a given month, we handle it through overages or a time block.

Can you update all employee contracts?

Yes—in a structured rollout (batching and prioritizing). We’ll recommend the cleanest path based on headcount and risk.

Can you help with terminations right away?

Yes. We can advise on process, communications, and documentation. Complex matters may require additional time or separate retainer.
