Save you the cost of adding an in-house attorney (or another in-house attorney, or a temporary attorney with no background on your business) to your payroll. 

Complimentary visit to your local offices to meet key contacts and understand how your business works.  This visit can be as short as one hour or as long as five hours, depending on your preference.  Travel to anywhere within 50 miles of Phoenix is included.  Travel costs and time for locations farther away will be charged, but the attorney time for the preparation and visit remains complimentary.

A specified average number of hours of legal advice per month, based upon your needs.  Some months may be lower, and some may be higher.  These fluctuations will not affect your cost, so long as the hours remain within the agreed-upon average.  At the end of each year, we will provide you with an audit of your hours so you can determine whether you want to modify your monthly commitment.

You will benefit from our extensive national network of vetted attorneys.  We will utilize this network—from which we get no kickbacks or other compensation—to provide you with honest, transparent referrals to other counsel when you require an attorney outside our jurisdiction, or with a niche practice area that is beyond our expertise.   At your request, we can collaborate with, and/or supervise, any other attorneys to ensure your needs and business goals are being understood and met.

You will be our client, with conflicts checks complete, meaning that we can develop a long-term relationship, including litigation representation if necessary, without any concerns of conflicts arising in the future.
