Though Legal Care Plans do include quite a bit, it’s not a nonprofit general counsel relationship. We provide a more affordable alternative that offers many of the benefits of having in-house counsel like reviewing contracts, creating new policies, and providing legal advice regularly. You’ll be able to have a dedicated attorney to call, email or video conference with for your legal questions and concerns without the six figure price tag.
