Plans & Fees
The hourly law firm model is still alive and well, but we think there is a better model that provides more transparency, clarity and certainty. Defining the scope and objectives with you creates alignment and drives efficiency and clarity in an otherwise murky area.
For businesses seeking consistent, proactive legal support, our Fractional General Counsel plans offer a fixed monthly or annual fee, ensuring predictable costs.
For specific projects or transactions, we offer fixed-fee pricing based on a detailed statement of work. These arrangements provide clarity and certainty, allowing you to plan your legal costs with confidence.
For businesses with ad hoc or project-specific needs, we offer services billed at an hourly rate.
Fractional GC Packages
Most businesses with fewer than 250 employees or $100M in revenue aren’t ready to support the cost of full-time in-house counsel. That’s why we’ve designed our Fractional General Counsel packages—to give you on-demand, strategic legal guidance tailored to your growth. With a trusted attorney who knows your business and growth plans, you’ll proactively manage risks, strengthen your operations, and lay the foundation for scalable, sustainable success.

DISCLAIMER: Hourly rates may vary depending on several factors, including the area of law, the expertise required, the complexity of the work, and the scope of the engagement. The specific rates applicable to your matter will be outlined in detail in your engagement letter with LucentGC or our referral network partners, ensuring transparency and alignment before services begin. It is impractical to determine in advance the amount of effort required to complete work on a matter or the total amount of fees and costs that may be incurred. Unless a Flat Fee is agreed to between you and LucentGC in writing, any estimates or budgets provided are not intended to be binding, are subject to unforeseen circumstances and adjustments, and by their nature are inexact.
