Flat-fee · phased billing

We build what you’re growing — and fight for what you’ve built.

> Business law for founders & operators

A litigation and transactional firm run by people who’ve built and run companies themselves — so deals make us harder to litigate against, and litigation makes us better at deals.

01The fight work

Litigation

Plaintiff-side complex commercial litigation built on speed and leverage. Where the facts and the law support it, we file — so the counterparty is reading our complaint, not our demand letter. The complaint is the leverage.

Contract & non-payment
Fraud & torts
IP & trade secrets
Partnership & shareholder
Creator-side disputes

Litigate

02The build work

Transactional

Deal architecture and execution for principals buying, selling, capitalizing, or standing up real businesses — plus end-to-end build-out for creators turning audience into enterprise.

M&A — buy & sell side
Fund formation & SPVs
Entity, IP & capital structure
Term sheets & financings
Creator funds & licensing

> Whose side we’re on

We represent the side that’s right — not the side that’s bigger.

We pick our side by who’s right, even when they’re the underdog. We don’t take every fight — only the ones where the facts are clear and the cause is right. And we’ll tell you what we’d do in your shoes when many lawyers wouldn’t, even when it’s inconvenient.

The founder the Fortune 500 client decided not to pay.
02
The fund whose LP treated the LPA as a suggestion.
03
The creator whose agent or manager sat on their money.
04
The partner who stopped pulling weight but still wants an equal cut.

> How we work

The Look difference

We’re not interested in the old law-firm playbook: long memos, vague answers, opaque hourly billing, and complexity dressed up as sophistication. Our work is built around clarity, leverage, speed, and business outcomes.

We price the work, not the hours.

Flat-fee and phased where the scope can be drawn; hybrid and success-based where the matter earns it. We don't sell hours — the longer hourly work takes, the more the lawyer makes, and we won't let that incentive sit between us and you.

Founder fluency.

We've built and run companies, sat on boards, raised capital, and lost some. We're operators who happen to practice law — dual citizens of business and law.

Candid by design.

We'll tell you when not to litigate. We'll tell you when a deal is bad. We'll tell you when the smartest move is to walk. Candor runs in both directions.

Activity is not progress.

A demand letter, complaint, term sheet, or cap table only matters if it changes leverage, clarifies risk, or moves the board. Everything we draft is built for outcomes.

Direct access.

You work directly with the people working on your matter — no layers, no translators, no memos written to be billed rather than read.

Every fight improves the build.

Disputes show us how contracts fail and which structures break. We feed those lessons back into the next entity, term sheet, and operating agreement.

Litigation makes us better at deals, and deals make us harder to litigate against.

How we engage

Pick the structure that fits the matter, not the one that fits a billing model. Our foundational model is flat fees by defined phase and scope — meaningful budget visibility while we keep strategic flexibility.

On select matters we’ll consider hybrid, retainer, or success-based terms — including equity-linked structures for funds and startups.

01
Phase 1
Intake, investigation & strategy
Conflicts check, secure file setup, evidence collection, witness and counterparty mapping, and a written strategy memo with a recommended path and clear decision points.
02
Phase 2
Filing, leverage or term sheet
On the fight side: draft and file the complaint or demand package and manage early posture. On the build side: draft and negotiate the LOI or term sheet and structure the deal.
03
Phase 3
Active matter execution
Discovery, depositions, and motion practice — or definitive documents, disclosure schedules, and closing mechanics. The substance of the matter, moved forward.
04
Phase 4
Resolution, trial, closing or launch
Trial through verdict or final settlement — or signing, closing, and post-close transition. For creator and founder builds, launch execution and follow-through.

> The team

Two people. Both in the room.

Counsel protects the legal perimeter; the legally fluent business principal makes sure the business objective is met. On a matter it plays like doubles — one covers the law, the other covers the business, and we already know each other’s game.
