What This Covers

How your company makes decisions and proves it did: operating agreements and bylaws that match how you actually run things, the records a lender or buyer will ask for, and the policies that keep a growing team on the same page.

Aaron would rather be in the room before something breaks. Knowing where the business is headed and what it will run into on the way there means legal becomes part of how the company grows instead of a bill that shows up after the fact.

How the Work Starts

It starts with a first meeting. You describe your work and the goals you have, and Aaron describes how he may be able to help. Then he tells you whether he is the right fit for the job, and you decide if you would like to move forward.

If it is a fit and you want to move forward, an engagement letter sets out how you will work together: the scope of the legal services and how it is billed, flat fee, retainer, or hourly, whichever fits the work.

What Shapes the Scope

Company size, whether ongoing counsel is needed, and the state of the current records.
