Our subscription plan is designed to be flexible and convenient for our clients. The subscription will automatically renew unless canceled.
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time after the minimum term requirement. We believe in providing our clients with the freedom to choose. You can manage your subscription through the client portal or email us at legal@carbonlg.com and we will take care of cancelling the subscription. The subscription will cancel at the end of the monthly billing period and not be renewed.
Our subscription plans offer a range of valuable services tailored to meet your business’s legal needs. Please refer to the table above.
More levels and features may be added in the future.
Contacting our legal team is simple. You can reach us by phone or text at (323) 918-5802 during business hours. Alternatively, you can email us at legal@carbonlg.com. We are committed to providing prompt and responsive assistance to our subscribed clients.

But please remember, our subscription plans are built to encourage open communication with your legal team. They are not built to handle every project. Complex matters will require a separate engagement or fee.
When you sign up, we will schedule a 30-minute discovery call to better understand your needs and also make sure you are addressing hidden legal issues that put many business owners at risk.
There are a few factors to consider when deciding if a subscription legal plan is right for you. First, you need to think about how often you need legal help. If you only need legal help once in a blue moon, then a subscription legal plan may not be worth it. However, if you need legal help on a regular basis, then a subscription legal plan can save you money in the long run.
Some of the benefits of a subscription legal service include:
- Peace of mind: Knowing that you have access to legal help when you need it can give you peace of mind.
- Cost savings: Subscription legal plans can save you money in the long run, especially if you need legal help on a regular basis.
- Convenience: Subscription legal plans make it easy to get legal help. You can usually reach an attorney by phone or email, and you can often get help quickly.
Consider whether an on-going relationship with a law firm would be of value to you. However, our subscription plan may not be ideal for established businesses looking for more dedicated support.
There will be an additional charge of between $650.00 and $950.00 for each additional owner of a company depending on the complexity of the agreements needed.

- FAQ
Value-based Pricing (“VBP”) shifts billing from the traditional hourly fee model to a new value-based approach, where the fees are based on the value provided, not the time spent.
Why is VBP better than hourly billing?
Value-based Pricing (“VBP”) is better for both the client and the attorney. VBP gives clients the peace-of-mind of not getting an unexpectedly large bill at the end of the month. It gives attorneys the ability to be compensated for value as opposed to a sometimes arbitrary amount of time it takes to complete the project. We believe the hourly billing model is antiquated because incentivizes slowness and doesn’t allow clients to budget as they start or grow their business.
VBP is determined by weighing a variety of factors such as project complexity, length, resources required, and value provided to the client. Because every project is unique, there may be projects that require additional time or services outside the scope of the original engagement. In these situations, an additional fee may be due. But don’t worry, unlike the traditional (and out-dated) hourly billing model, we always discuss the additional work required with you before we charge you any more for your project.
As you probably know, the future is very hard to predict. Lawyers stuck in the hourly-billing model don’t really care about the future, because they are just focusing on doing the work and billing the client for the time they spend on a matter. Did a lawyer zone out for 10 minutes while working on your matter? We are human, so we would be lying if we said we are always 100% laser focused and impervious to distractions. Nonetheless, you will never know, but you will probably pay for the time spent re-focusing and picking up where that lawyer left off.
With fixed-fee and value-based pricing, we have agreed on a price ahead of time and the future is fairly certain (subject to certain issues that we uncover that may be outside the initial engagement). That means, if we get distracted or zone out, you don’t pay for that, we do. It means we are now incentivized to be efficient and make sure we deliver on what is promised.
Might you end up paying more with fixed fees, possibly, but you have to weigh the advantage of predictability and aligned incentives versus being billed for a matter where the end cost could
If something is “outside of the scope” of our original engagement, it means that the project we agreed to work on when you first engaged did not include or cover the issue that we are discussing that is outside the scope. For example, if we are engaged to structure your corporation and you did not inform us of a few agreements you had negotiated with other parties, such matters could throw a wrench in the structuring and require considerable more time on our part.
We strive to be as transparent as possible with our clients. However, issues arise with deals that create an additional level of complexity. When this happens, we do have to charge for the additional services required to address such issues.
