One lawyer, on call for you or your company, for a flat monthly fee. No full-time salary, no hourly meter running.
No one should have to choose between legal coverage and a full-time hire. The best decisions get made when counsel is already in the room.
Growing companies reach a point where legal decisions are happening constantly. Vendor contracts, hiring agreements, financing rounds, IP questions. But they’re not ready to commit to a full-time General Counsel. First Chair steps into that role at a fraction of the cost, embedded in your business from day one.
Athletes and individual talent sign more agreements than most small companies do. NIL deals, endorsements, agency and representation agreements, NDAs, leases, employment terms for a chef or trainer or assistant. There are agents, managers, and accountants in the picture, but no one whose job is the legal side of all of it. So notices and demand letters arrive and sit unopened, and the first real look at a contract happens after something goes wrong. First Chair is the one person watching all of it, for a fee that doesn’t climb every time you ask a question.
Founders shouldn’t have to choose between doing it themselves or paying hourly rates that punish them for calling. A flat monthly subscription means senior legal judgment is simply part of how the company runs.
What every client needs is the same thing: someone who already knows their situation, so they never have to start from scratch. That’s what First Chair delivers.
No software stands between you and your attorney. Every contract you send is read clause by clause, and you get a plain-language summary of what matters: what's standard, what's risky, and what to push back on, before you sign anything.
You're about to sign something and you're not sure what you're agreeing to. There's no time to shop for a lawyer. You need someone who already knows your business on the phone in an hour, not next week.
A lawyer who bills by the hour makes you think twice before calling. So you don't call, and the small thing becomes a big one. Flat monthly means you call the moment something feels off.
Every new lawyer starts from zero. Your contracts, your history, your risk tolerance. Ours doesn't. We already know your business, so every call moves fast.
Thirty minutes. No pressure. We’ll understand your situation and tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.
