Legal Subscription Plans for Startups & Growing Businesses
Legal protection shouldn’t be a luxury. At ELS, we provide flat-fee, subscription-based legal services for individuals, startups, and growth-stage companies that need regular legal support—without the cost of a full-time attorney.
We know that legal needs don’t always align with legal budgets. Our experienced attorneys have over 20 years of combined legal experience helping clients navigate contracts, compliance, employment law, risk, and more. Whether you’re a person who needs legal advice from time to time or a scaling company with a growing team, our plans are designed to give you direct access to experienced attorneys for practical, business-focused guidance—without the unpredictability of hourly billing or the cost of a full-time legal team.
Why Choose a Legal Subscription Service?
- Ongoing legal advice from experienced attorneys
- Fixed monthly pricing—no surprise invoices
- Fast answers to legal questions as they arise
- Document review, contract negotiation, and risk assessment
- Direct access to a dedicated attorney—no call centers or gatekeepers
We help businesses stay protected while they scale.
