Business & Employment Law
Northline reads the room, the document, and the risk. Then we tell you what matters next.
§ 01: The stakes
The expensive clause is rarely the loud one. It is the sentence signed in a hurry, the termination handled on instinct, or the founder deal left on a napkin. Northline puts structure around the decision before that quiet line starts calling the shots.
No sales theatre. A paid consultation gets to the facts, the risk, and the next move. If more work makes sense, the scope and fee arrive before the work does.
§ 02: Practice areas
We like the documents and decisions with consequences: ownership, hiring, exits, contracts, and conflict. Northline makes the legal structure legible before it gets expensive.
§ 03: Who we work with
Smart clients do not need more legal fog. They need the right read at the right moment, whether the pressure is coming from a company, a workplace, a partner, or a deal.
§ 04: Consultation process
No mystery, no sales routine. Bring the facts. Leave with the legal read, the options, and a next move you can actually use.
A short intake form captures context about the company, role, document, or decision. Enough to prepare, not enough to commit.
A focused consultation: the facts, the framework that applies, the risk points, and the options that remain on the table.
You leave with a recommended step, a written summary where useful, and a clear sense of what comes next. It is not a sales pitch.
A fixed-fee review or drafting engagement, a negotiation, or an advisory retainer, priced and scoped before we start.
§ 05: Pricing preview
Mystery is not a premium feature. Northline publishes starting points and puts the scope in writing before the meter starts.
Issue overview, legal read of the situation, options and risk points, and a recommended next step.
Scoped reviews and drafting: employment agreements, severance packages, contracts, and founder or contractor documents.
Ongoing legal support for growing teams, including contracts, employment questions, and risk review on a planned cadence.
§ 06: Advisory retainers
The sharpest legal question is the one asked while it is still boring. Retainers give growing teams a planned place for contracts, hiring, exits, and risk before any of them turn urgent.
from $950/month
A planned legal desk for contracts, policies, and employment triage.
◆ Recommended
from $1,850/month
For teams hiring, contracting, and negotiating often enough that last-minute counsel has lost its charm. Recommended for most clients.
from $3,500/month
Outside general counsel support with a real cadence, live matter tracking, and leadership time on the calendar.
§ 07: Resources
Useful enough to sharpen the question. Honest enough not to pretend a webpage can answer it. These guides show where to look before the document gets a signature.
§ 08: Service standards
Good lawyering should not hide behind mystery. Northline puts the standards in writing: conflicts first, scope before work, plain-English deliverables, and fees confirmed before the file moves.
Every paid consultation, fixed-fee review, negotiation, and advisory retainer puts the fee, assumptions, deliverables, and next step in writing before the work moves.
The intake flow asks for opposing-party information before any confidential material is requested or reviewed.
The work product is written for founders, operators, employers, executives, and professionals making a real decision, not for a shelf.
§ 09: Next move
The cleanest legal work happens while choices still exist. A consultation gets to the facts, the risk, and the next move. If the work continues, the scope and fee are written first.
