Sound familiar?

If you’re building a company right now, one of these is probably on your mind:

“I’m raising in the next year, and I’m not sure my legal house will hold up when investors start digging.”

“I’m paying for legal work, but I can’t tell what I’m getting for it.”

“My lawyer was great when we formed the company. I’m not sure they’re the right fit for what’s next.”

“A big-firm name might impress investors. But do I need it, and can I afford it?”

“We built our early documents with templates and AI tools. I don’t know what we missed.”

“We’re expanding into the U.S., and I don’t know how to judge an American lawyer.”

Every one of these comes back to a single decision: who’s advising you, and whether they fit where your company is going. Most founders make that decision once, quickly, and never revisit it. The cost shows up later, in diligence, at the negotiating table, or on an invoice nobody expected.

What you’ll walk away with

If you’re worried about diligence: You’ll learn which legal gaps investors and buyers tend to find first, which ones can wait, and which become expensive to fix at your next round.

If you’re worried about cost: You’ll see how hourly, flat-fee, and subscription pricing actually work, and which model fits your stage, so you can budget for legal without surprises.

If you’re not sure you’ve outgrown your lawyer: You’ll get the signs that your counsel no longer fits, and a way to switch firms without losing momentum mid-deal.

If you’re weighing a big firm: You’ll know what solo practitioners, boutiques, mid-size firms, and Big Law each do well, where each one quietly costs you, and when Big Law is worth the rate.

If you’re building from outside the U.S.: You’ll learn what to look for when hiring U.S. counsel for the first time, and what to ask before you sign an engagement letter.

Plus, every registrant gets the one-page Counsel Fit Checklist before the session, so you can score your current setup before we start.
