Before You Launch
Flat-fee legal projects for consumer brands getting ready for market.
Build Your Brand With Clarity, Not Guesswork
Before launch, every dollar counts. Every project here has a flat fee and a clear starting price.
You don't have to be ready.
Most founders call months before the work happens. That's normal, and it's usually the right time to call. Knowing what's coming is worth more than being finished.

Trademark trouble right before launch?
Your application got refused. Someone else's mark is blocking yours. A cease and desist letter just showed up. That's a launch problem too, and we handle it. Bring it to your Product Launch Call and we'll tell you what it takes to fix.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Most founders aren't. One short call sorts it out.
