Clear, Predictable Pricing
Transparent Legal Fees for Business Owners
Clarity Around Costs
Clear Pricing for Business Owners
Surprise bills can spell death for a small business. Unfortunately, the traditional legal hourly billing model often makes costs hard to predict. At High Sun Legal, we believe legal services should be transparent, practical, and aligned with the needs of small businesses.
Flexible Billing Options
What is High Sun’s Approach to Legal Fees?
Every business and every legal matter is different. Instead of forcing every engagement into the same billing structure, we offer several options depending on your needs.
These include:
During our initial conversation, we’ll help determine which approach makes the most sense for your business and your needs.
Hourly Billing
Our most traditional arrangement. With hourly billing, High Sun Legal bills based on the time spent working on your matter.
When does hourly billing make sense?
While we offer hourly billing when it’s appropriate, we recognize that many business owners prefer a clearer idea of what their legal services will cost. That’s why we also offer alternatives.
Flat Fees
Know the cost of the service upfront before work even begins; for many common legal projects, we offer flat-fee pricing.
What are the most common flat legal fee engagements?
With a flat fee, you get to budget confidently while we get to deliver the best outcome without worrying about confirming every minute spent.
Monthly Retainers
Your Outside General Counsel
Our monthly retainers are for those businesses that need regular legal guidance without paying for a full-time in-house lawyer.
With a monthly retainer, you pay a predictable monthly fee and receive ongoing legal support as issues arise.
This can include:
Our monthly retainer clients are able to get legal guidance early, before small issues become expensive problems.
Focused on Value Delivered
Why Do We Offer Alternative Billing?
The traditional legal billing model can create uncertainty for business owners and shifts the focus to time spent instead of value delivered. At High Sun Legal, we believe that our greatest priority should be the value we deliver to our clients – not the time we spend delivering it.
High Sun Legal harnesses new technologies, including secure, legal-industry tailored AI tools, and utilizes a network of trusted subject-matters experts outside the firm (accountants, other attorneys, regulatory advisors), so that we can deliver the highest quality legal services to our clients as efficiently as possible.
For business owners, our additional billing models provide:
Meanwhile, we get to focus on what matters most – helping and educating our clients in everything we do.
