Is this a flat-fee retainer or hourly?

Both options exist. Many clients use an on-demand model billed hourly with no monthly minimum; others prefer a defined monthly scope for predictable budgeting. We'll recommend a structure based on your typical workload.

What does on-demand general counsel actually cover?

Day-to-day strategic guidance on lien and bond claim preservation, contract review and negotiation, dispute escalation decisions, vendor and customer agreements, and any cross-jurisdictional coordination needed for your active projects.

Do you work with our existing in-house counsel?

Yes. We frequently serve as specialized construction-law support to in-house teams that handle general corporate matters but want construction-specific expertise on demand.
