From first call
to a written price
in one business day.
Three steps, in this order, on every matter. The scope and the number arrive before any work starts, and they come from the partner who will do it.
You call, or send the form below.
A partner calls you back the same business day. The first half hour is at 101 Federal Street, by phone or on video, and we run the conflict check before it.
Same business day
You get the scope and the price in writing.
What we will do, what we will not do, and a fixed fee or a ceiling in USD. If we are not the right firm for the matter, this is where we say so and name one that is.
Within one business day
You sign, and the same partner starts.
The engagement letter repeats the number. If the scope changes, you hear it from us before the work does, and every question gets a dated written answer.
Answers within two business days
Five fixed fees,
written down before
we start.
Anything outside this list is billed at $325 to $575 an hour against a ceiling you agree to first.
