Common questions from prospective clients.
What kinds of clients do you work with?
The firm works primarily with technology companies, including early-stage to growth-stage startups, SaaS businesses, AI product teams, and founders without dedicated in-house legal support. Established companies that need surge capacity on commercial contracts, privacy programs, or AI governance reviews are also welcome.
Do you offer fixed fees, retainers, or hourly rates?
The firm offers all three depending on the engagement. Fractional in-house counsel relationships are typically structured as a monthly retainer. Defined projects, such as a privacy program review or a contract template buildout, are often quoted as a fixed fee. Ad hoc work and negotiations are typically billed hourly. Pricing structure is discussed during the introductory call.
Do you handle litigation?
The firm's practice is focused on transactional, commercial, privacy, and AI governance matters. The firm does not represent clients in active litigation. If you need litigation counsel, the firm is happy to provide referrals to attorneys in California with relevant experience.
Can you serve as our company's outside general counsel?
Yes. Many clients engage the firm as fractional in-house counsel, where Megha acts as the legal partner across product, engineering, sales, and leadership. This is often the most cost-effective option for companies that aren't yet ready to hire a full-time General Counsel.
Do you only serve California-based clients?
Megha is admitted to practice in California. The firm can advise clients located outside California on matters where California law applies, on commercial contracts where local admission is not required, and on U.S. privacy and AI governance frameworks. For state-specific matters outside California, the firm works with co-counsel licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
How do we get started?
Reach out by email or phone with a short description of what you're working on. The firm will schedule an introductory call (no fee for the initial conversation) to make sure it's the right fit, run a conflict check, and discuss next steps. The attorney-client relationship is formed only after a written engagement agreement is signed.
