Your Legal Counsel
Stop Worrying About What You Might Have Missed
As your business grows, so do the stakes. Vendor agreements, client contracts, licensing deals, IP protection — one overlooked clause could cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
But hiring an in-house general counsel isn’t realistic for most small businesses.
That’s where Your Legal Counsel comes in. It's like having your own experienced attorney in your corner, without the six-figure salary.
And because your attorney already knows your business, you can bring the questions as they come up, before they grow into something harder to fix, instead of sitting on them the way you might with a traditional attorney.
Why Clients Choose Your Legal Counsel
With more than 30 years of experience and $6B+ in deals closed, I bring the same business, technology, and IP expertise trusted by Fortune 100 companies — now tailored for consultants, professionals, and small businesses.
As your outside general counsel, I get to know your business and provide ongoing legal guidance that protects your growth, builds your credibility, and saves you from costly mistakes.
It also means you can reach out when something comes up, without hesitating over whether a quick question is worth a call. You bring things to me early, before they turn into expensive problems
What’s Included with Your Legal Counsel
$750 per month, on a 12-month commitment, with your rate locked in for the first year.
Two hours of legal support each month, used flexibly for any HTBiz Law service: contract drafting, negotiation, complex reviews, IP protection, or strategic legal guidance
A proactive "State of Your Company" strategy session when you begin, and another every six months you stay on, to step back and look at where your business is headed before issues arise
Continuity of knowledge, so each matter builds on the last and you are never starting from scratch
Additional hours available at $495/hr, billed in 15-minute increments
👉 Think of this as having your own general counsel — but only paying for what you need, when you need it.
A Legal Partner Who Knows Your Business
💡 “One overlooked clause can cost tens of thousands — Your Legal Counsel gives you the peace of mind of knowing every contract has been vetted by a seasoned attorney.”
💡 “Sharon isn’t just a lawyer — she’s a partner who anticipates risks before they become problems.”
Who It’s Best For
Your Legal Counsel is designed for:
Professional consultants managing multiple client contracts or vendor agreements
Science and technology professionals with ongoing licensing, regulatory, or IP concerns
Service providers who need recurring legal guidance but not a full-time hire
Small businesses scaling up and facing more complex deals or negotiations
If you’re in your first 0–3 years of business and just need occasional guidance or contract reviews, Your Legal Backstop™ may be a better fit.
