The situations you actually hit
You have seen these weeks. Here is who handles them.
Selling physical product across borders means legal shows up at the worst moments. These are the ones e-commerce founders bring us most, and what changes when a senior lawyer already owns them.

If it is legal and it touches your store, it is in scope. Anything genuinely niche, we say so plainly and help you brief the right specialist.
What changes with us
The week you hand legal over, it stops slowing you down.

Capped monthly fee, no hourly billing
Consumer-brand founders already covered

- Trademarks filed first
- PDPA off your plate
- One capped fee
The mandate
One senior lawyer owns all of it.
From the day your counsel starts, these stop being your problem. Everything on this list sits inside the same capped monthly fee.
Manufacturing agreements, purchase orders, 3PL and fulfilment contracts drafted and negotiated so quality, defects and delays land on the party that caused them.
If it is legal and it is yours, it is in scope. And if you ever need a niche specialist, we say so plainly and help you brief them.
The math
Three ways to cover the legal. One of them makes sense.
Every consumer-brand founder runs this comparison eventually, usually after the first painful invoice or the first copycat. Here it is up front instead.

How it starts
From first call to working counsel in a week.
No onboarding project, no discovery phase billed by the hour. One call, one written number, one start date.
- Day 0
A free call with Daniel
Fifteen minutes with the senior lawyer, not a sales rep. Bring the supplier contract or copycat that worries you most and leave with a straight answer, whether you hire us or not.
- Day 2
A scoped mandate and one number
We map your contracts, filings, data flows and marketplace risk into a written mandate with a capped monthly fee. You see the number before you commit to anything.
- Day 7
Your counsel is inside the business
Daniel joins your channels, your team gets the app, and the contract and trademark backlog gets cleared first. Legal answers now arrive in hours, not weeks.
No retainers, no lock-in: the mandate renews monthly and you can stop any month.

Fit
Built for some brands. Honestly, not for all.
Read both lists. If the left one sounds like your month, the free call will be worth it.
You need this if
- Supplier and fulfilment contracts pile up faster than you can read them
- You are scaling into new markets or new marketplaces
- Copycats, chargebacks or platform suspensions are already costing you
- You collect customer data at checkout and through marketing
- Legal questions keep landing on the founder
You do not need it yet if
- You have not launched or incorporated anything
- You sell one product through one channel, occasionally
- You need a courtroom litigator, not ongoing counsel
On the fence? Book the free call anyway. If a template or a cheaper option fixes it, Daniel will tell you so and point you there.
