Legal subscription FAQ

Flex Business Lawyer is a $1,997 monthly subscription that includes up to 5 attorney hours for any business legal matter. Below are answers to the questions business owners ask most.

The subscription

What is Flex Business Lawyer?

Flex Business Lawyer is a monthly legal subscription for small and mid-sized businesses, offered by Chase Neely, PC. For $1,997 per month, subscribers get up to 5 attorney hours to use on any business legal matter.

Who is it for?

Businesses with roughly $1 million to $5 million in revenue that need legal help regularly but aren't ready to hire in-house counsel.

What can I use my hours on?

Any business legal matter, including contracts, employment, governance, trademarks, disputes and transactions. Larger matters get a time estimate upfront.

Is this fractional general counsel?

It's similar. You get a business lawyer who learns your company and handles your ongoing legal work, on a predictable monthly subscription rather than an hourly or full-time arrangement.

Is this a retainer?

No. It's a subscription. You pay a set monthly price for up to 5 hours of attorney time instead of a deposit that's drawn down hourly.

Hours, pricing and billing

How much does it cost?

$1,997 per month for up to 5 attorney hours. Additional time is $550 per hour.

What happens if I need more than 5 hours?

We'll ask before going past your 5 hours. If you approve, additional time is billed at $550 an hour.

Do unused hours roll over?

No. Hours reset at the start of each billing month.

Are filing fees included?

No. Filing fees, court costs, government fees and other third-party costs are billed separately at cost.

Can I cancel?

Yes. The subscription is month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime.

Why can't I pay on the website?

We have to complete a conflict check before we can represent you. Once conflicts clear, we send your engagement agreement and billing details together through a secure link.

Working with us

Who will handle my legal work?

Chris Clark leads client work and coordinates your matters. When a matter requires a lawyer licensed in a particular state or court, we bring in licensed co-counsel, and that time counts toward your monthly hours.

Do you work with businesses outside your office cities?

Yes. We have offices in Charlotte, Nashville, Denver and Washington, DC, and work with businesses nationwide, bringing in licensed co-counsel where a matter requires it.

What about litigation?

Litigation is handled case by case. We give you a time estimate upfront and explain how the work will be billed before we start.

Getting started

Does submitting the intake form make me a client?

No. Submitting the form doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after conflicts clear and you sign an engagement agreement.

What should I include in the intake form?

Your company name, its owners, your state, a short description of what you need, and any known adverse parties. Please don't include confidential information.

Can I talk to someone before subscribing?

Yes. Book a consultation and we'll talk through what you need.

Still have questions?

Book a consultation, or subscribe and we'll start with a conflict check.

Please don’t include confidential details in the form. Submitting it doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship.
