better legal services for non-profits and small business

Start-up support

Incorporation, employment, commercial agreements, raising capital — I take care of the fine legal bits, for both for- and non-profits.

Flat-fee engagements 

Don’t like hourly rates? Me neither. No confusing (and expensive) bills. We can also consider a monthly subscription for all of your legal needs.

Dealing with legal issues

Handling conflicts of interest. Dealing with difficult shareholders or members. Preparing strongly worded letters. We’ll make sure problems are addressed effectively. 

Meeting facilitation

There’s a reason people hate meetings. I make sure they’re focussed and efficient, from daily check-ins to day-long strategy sessions. 

 

get legal peace of mind

I’m an experienced lawyer and business advisor. My advice is practical and hands on. I identify the risks and tell you how likely they are to happen. I then prepare the right legal and policy documents to make sure you’re protected.

I’m always available for ongoing tweaks and follow-up calls and emails.
