The Challenge Every Growing Business Faces
Your small business or startup needs reliable legal counsel on a regular basis—help with contracts, employment issues, compliance questions, and strategic guidance. But hiring a full-time general counsel isn’t financially feasible, and engaging a traditional law firm on an hourly basis creates unpredictable costs that are difficult to budget.
A Smarter Approach to Business Legal Services
The Stark Law Firm provides comprehensive business legal services with transparent, predictable pricing designed specifically for small businesses and growing companies. We offer the expertise of seasoned business counsel without the overhead of a large firm or the expense of a full-time hire.
Flexible Fee Structures That Work for Your Business
-
Flat-Fee Projects
For discrete legal services such as entity formation, contract drafting, contract review or specific transactions, we offer project-based flat/fixed fees. You’ll know the exact cost upfront, allowing you to budget with confidence.
-
Hourly Billing
We recognize that some clients prefer the traditional billable hour model. We’re happy to provide our services on an hourly basis for those who find this approach more suitable.
-
Counsel Services
Retain our firm for a set number of hours per month at an affordable flat fee. You’ll have on-call access to experienced legal counsel for routine, recurring, and day-to-day legal matters—no hourly billing, no surprise invoices, and no need to engage a new attorney every time an issue arises. Our flat-fee general counsel services often cost less than 50% of what companies pay traditional firms on an hourly basis.
-
Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Costs
Unlike traditional law firms, we don’t charge for paralegal time, legal secretary hours, routine travel expenses, standard photocopies, phone calls, or other incidental expenses. Our pricing is straightforward and honest.
