No. Many clients start with a single matter on an hourly or project basis, and move into on-demand general counsel once that relationship proves out. Others mix models as needs change. We structure things around what makes sense for your business, not a fixed package.

On-demand general counsel gives you a senior legal partner—available for issue-spotting, strategy, and day-to-day questions—at a flat monthly fee, without the cost of a full-time hire (often a fraction of the mid to high six-figures that a seasoned in-house GC commands). You get the same embedded relationship, just scaled to fit.

Usually not. Our partners bring enough breadth across corporate, commercial, labor and employment, IP, and financing to serve as your entire outside legal function, and we lean on trusted co-counsel for anything outside our depth. That means one point of contact instead of several firms to manage and pay separately.

It often comes down to the scope and frequency of your legal needs. A single matter—a contract, a dispute, a financing round—usually fits hourly or project-based work. If you're regularly relying on outside counsel across multiple areas of the business, on-demand general counsel tends to be more cost-effective and keeps everything under one roof.
