Product & Contracts Lite GC.
for series a / series b.

Flat‑fee legal support for commercial contracts and product work, built for AI‑enabled and SaaS companies that need more than Access GC—but are not yet ready for a full fractional GC program.

Product & Contracts Lite GC is designed for Series A and Series B SaaS, AI, marketing, and consumer startups, in that in‑between stage. You have real volume and complexity in your contracts and product work, and you need someone who already understands your stack, your risk profile, and your customers. You also want predictable pricing, not a surprise invoice every time a counterparty sends a new markup.

What’s included in Products & Contracts Light GC

  • One 60-minute product & strategy GC call per month

  • Either one MSA-level agreement or up to two standard/vendor agreements (with one round of redlines)

  • Access to our curated startup template library

WHERE THIS FITS

Product & Contracts Lite GC is a good fit if you’ve outgrown Access GC’s light‑touch support and are feeling real pressure on contracts and product work, but you’re not yet ready for the broader time commitment of a 20‑, 40‑, or 60‑hour fractional GC block.

Product & Contracts Lite GC: What’s included (and what’s not)

What’s included

  • Monthly contract deep-dives: either one MSA or similarly complex commercial agreement, or up to two standard unilateral agreements (website terms of use, privacy policy) or vendor agreements, including redlines and one round of comments to the counterparty.
  • One 60‑minute strategy or product meeting per month with product, engineering, marketing, or leadership team members, for upcoming decisions with legal impact, significant customer or vendor issues, roadmap or launch planning, and other matters where you would benefit from general counsel‑level input.
  • Reasonable email or Slack follow‑up tied to that month’s review or call (clarifications, short explanations, yes/no guidance on the same matter), with same-day or next-business-day response when feasible.
  • Access to a curated template library for early‑stage SaaS and AI‑enabled businesses (for your internal business use).
  • Flat $3,000/month on a three‑month initial term, built around this defined scope.

What’s not included

  • Building, implementing, or overhauling privacy, AI governance, or compliance programs.
  • Data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), records of processing activities (ROPA), or vendor risk management programs.
  • More than the number of contract reviews specified above in any month.
  • Building out playbooks tailored to you.
  • Multi‑round or heavily negotiated enterprise deals, RFP responses, or complex procurement negotiations.
  • Any work that would be better handled through a separate engagement or a fractional GC block‑of‑hours arrangement.

If you are consistently hitting the limits of Product & Contracts Lite GC—whether on contract volume, complexity, or the range of issues you’re bringing—we can revisit whether a 20‑, 40‑, or 60‑hour fractional GC block is a better fit for your stage.

Explore fractional GC options

  • Product & Contracts Lite GC is for founders and teams who have outgrown Access GC’s light‑touch support and are now running real contract and product volume each month. You are regularly negotiating MSAs or similar commercial agreements, updating terms and policies, and fielding higher‑stakes questions from customers, vendors, or internal teams.

  • Access GC is intentionally narrow: one 30‑minute call, one light‑touch document, and limited follow‑up each month. Product & Contracts Lite GC adds room for a monthly contract deep‑dive (for example, an MSA or two standard agreements) and a 60‑minute strategy or product meeting, so we can stay closer to your deal flow and roadmap while still working within a defined scope.

  • Product & Contracts Lite GC focuses on a specific slice of your needs: commercial contracts and product counseling within clear monthly boundaries. Fractional GC blocks (20, 40, or 60 hours) are designed for companies that need broader coverage—strategy, governance, employment, privacy and AI programs, and more—and more flexibility in how that time is used.

  • Each month, we can either go deep on one MSA or similarly complex commercial agreement, or handle up to two standard unilateral or vendor agreements, including redlines and one round of comments to the counterparty. We also meet for a 60‑minute strategy or product session and provide reasonable email or Slack follow‑up tied to that work, with same‑day or next‑business‑day responses when feasible.

  • This tier does not include building or overhauling privacy, AI governance, or compliance programs; DPIAs, ROPAs, or vendor risk programs; multi‑round or heavily negotiated enterprise deals and complex RFPs; or more contract reviews than the defined monthly scope. Work that falls into those categories is better handled as a separate project or under a fractional GC block‑of‑hours arrangement.

  • Yes, to the extent those questions come up in the contracts and product work we are already handling. For example, we can help you navigate data use, sharing, training rights, and how you describe AI‑enabled features in your MSAs, terms of use, and privacy policies. If you need a full privacy or AI governance program, we will scope that separately.

  • Product & Contracts Lite GC is billed at a flat $3,000 per month, with a three‑month initial term. That structure is meant to give you enough time to see how this level of support fits your stage and deal flow, without open‑ended hourly billing or unclear limits.

  • If you consistently need more contract volume, heavier negotiations, or support outside the Product & Contracts Lite GC scope, we will revisit together whether to shift that work into a separate project or move you into a 20‑, 40‑, or 60‑hour fractional GC block. The goal is to keep your legal support aligned with how your business is actually operating, not to force everything into the same box.
