How we work
You work directly with senior counsel. No hand-offs to junior associates. No billable hour surprises.
Initial consultation
A 30-minute conversation — free, no obligation. We listen to what's happening in your organization, ask the right questions, and give you an honest assessment of whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll tell you who is.
Scope agreement
Before any work begins, you receive a clear scope of engagement — what we'll do, what it will cost, and when you'll have it. No billable hour surprises. No invoices that make you question your decisions. The number you see is the number you pay.
Work product
You work directly with senior counsel. No hand-offs to junior associates. No reassignment to someone you've never met. The person who scoped the work is the person who does the work — and they're available when you have questions.
Ongoing availability
Legal questions don't follow a schedule. After an engagement, you have a relationship with Standing Counsel — not a closed file. Quick questions get quick answers. If something new comes up, we're already familiar with your organization.
What you won't find here
We built Standing Counsel around what's missing elsewhere.
Billable hour invoices that arrive like a surprise
Junior associates doing the work while partners bill the rate
Intake forms followed by weeks of silence
Legalese when plain language would do
Templates dressed up as tailored advice
Scope creep disguised as thoroughness
