We are reliable, sophisticated, experienced, talented business and law professionals: business consultants, entrepreneurs, attorneys or professors; some of us are still in business, consultants, in private practice or still teaching.
We have a roster from which we assess and choose our best available people for each client and matter. Then you approve us based on our Curriculum Vitae, and any other factors you wish.
Are some of us “retired”? No. From what would we “retire”? We do this work because we love it, and we’re excellent.
A few words about our pricing: No size fits all. Within the framework of our business model (a one-time business assessment fee and a fixed, monthly “on call” fee), we’re open-minded and flexible, which benefits us and you.
A few words about your existing relationships with your attorneys: We welcome all opportunities to collaborate with your existing professionals; attorneys or otherwise.
