Who this is for
OGC at Terms.Law is sized for businesses that have outgrown DIY templates but are not yet ready for a $15,000-per-month BigLaw retainer. Three profiles fit best.
Funded startups, Series A to B
You have closed a round, the legal volume has spiked, and your investor counsel only handles the deal docs. You need someone to take the steady stream of customer NDAs, vendor MSAs, employment offers, and IP assignments off your CEO's plate.
SaaS and fintech with no in-house
You are shipping product, signing enterprise customers, and the legal stack (ToS, Privacy, MSA, DPA, BAA) needs to keep pace. You want a lawyer who already understands SaaS and AI legal work, not someone you have to educate.
Solo founders running real businesses
You are profitable, you do not want a co-founder or a fractional GC, but you have actual contracts and actual disputes. You want fixed-fee, fast-turnaround legal help without the firm-overhead markup.
What it includes
Six categories of work cover the vast majority of OGC requests at Terms.Law. Anything that does not fit gets quoted separately.
Contract review
NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, vendor agreements, customer order forms, channel partner agreements, settlement and release documents.
Demand letters
Unpaid invoices, breach of contract, IP infringement, deposit recovery, contractor disputes. On firm letterhead, certified mail.
Employment documents
Offer letters, employment agreements, contractor agreements, separation and severance agreements, employee handbooks.
IP assignments
Founder IP assignment, employee IP assignment, contractor IP assignment, work-for-hire language, trademark assignments.
Compliance touch-ups
Privacy policy updates, terms of service revisions, data processing addenda, CCPA and GDPR clause refresh, click-wrap audits.
Regulatory questions
Quick attorney answers on California-specific issues, federal consumer-protection rules, and SaaS or AI compliance questions.
Pricing models
Three ways to engage. Pick whichever matches how your legal work actually flows.
Pay-as-you-go
Use the standard ladder: $240 written consult, $400 Zoom session, $575 demand letter or contract, $1,200 leverage package, $2,000 SaaS stack.
- No commitment, no minimum
- Fixed fee per matter, scoped up front
- 2-business-day turnaround
- Best for sporadic legal needs
Monthly retainer
Flat monthly fee covering the typical OGC mix. Each retainer is reviewed and quoted individually to fit the business and the expected workload. Common cap: roughly six matters per month from the categories above.
- Predictable monthly spend
- Priority response within 1 business day
- Unused work does not roll over
- Best for steady ongoing legal flow
Project
Defined deliverable scoped and quoted through the Quote Calculator. Full SaaS legal stacks, fund formation packages, AI legal audits, custom drafting projects.
- One scope, one price, one timeline
- Quoted within 1 business day
- Milestone-based delivery
- Best for defined initiatives
How it works
Four steps from intake to delivery. Same flow whether you are on retainer, paying per matter, or running a project.
Describe the matter
Open the AI Legal Analyst from the chatbox or this page, drop in the documents, describe what you need. The analyzer surfaces the issues and proposes a scope.
I review and draft
I read the materials, confirm the scope and fee, and produce the actual work product: the contract, the letter, the memo, the redline.
2-business-day turnaround
Standard turnaround for most matters is two business days. Rush is available when scheduled in advance.
Revisions until you approve
Each package includes a defined number of revision rounds. We iterate until the deliverable is right, then close the matter.
What this is NOT
Not litigation, not class actions, not regulatory enforcement defense.
OGC at Terms.Law does not cover filing complaints, appearing as attorney of record in court or arbitration, defending enforcement actions by federal or state regulators, or running discovery in active litigation. When a matter heads in that direction I coordinate with specialist counsel and stay in the loop on the business-side legal work.
Not a substitute for transaction counsel on financings or M&A.
Series A through D rounds, secondary transactions, full M&A deals, and complex tax-driven restructurings need specialist counsel running the deal. I can review the surrounding business contracts, employment docs, IP assignments, and customer-side fallout but I am not your lead deal counsel on a financing or sale.
