Complex business needs do not always fit neatly into a predefined package.
Some legal projects involve more than one agreement, one filing, or one decision.
Perhaps your business is adding a new revenue stream while restructuring ownership. Maybe you are expanding across state lines, creating a second entity, bringing in a key partner, or working through several interconnected legal issues at once.
That is where Bespoke Legal Support comes in.
Rather than fitting your business into a predetermined package, we define the legal project around what is actually happening in your business — identifying the pieces that belong together, establishing clear priorities, and building a scope designed around the outcome you are trying to achieve.
Whenever the project can be reasonably defined in advance, we offer a customized flat-fee proposal so you understand the scope and investment before work begins.
For matters that are evolving or difficult to predict, hourly representation may be a better fit.
Your legal support should fit the business. Not the other way around.
Bespoke Packages
When Bespoke Makes Sense
Bespoke Legal Support is designed for businesses facing a larger legal project with several interconnected pieces.
It may be the right fit when:
Your needs span several different legal areas
One business decision creates multiple legal workstreams
Your ownership or entity structure is becoming more complex
You are adding locations, services, entities, or revenue streams
A standard package includes too much — or not enough — for what you are doing
You need several agreements or corporate actions coordinated as part of one project
Your business has an unusual structure, relationship, or opportunity that requires a more tailored approach
You know something significant is changing but need help determining which legal pieces should be addressed together
If you simply need one agreement, filing, or focused legal task, our À La Carte Legal Services may be the better fit.
If you need ongoing access to counsel as your business operates and grows, Fractional Corporate Counsel may make more sense.
What Bespoke Legal Support Can Include
Because every engagement is built around the particular project, there is no single Bespoke checklist.
Depending on your business and goals, a custom engagement might involve a combination of:
-
Multi-entity structuring
Holding-company planning
Entity conversions or reorganizations
Ownership changes
Bringing in a new owner or partner
Governance restructuring
Corporate consents, resolutions, and related documentation
-
Legal planning for additional locations
New service lines or revenue streams
Multi-state expansion planning
Foreign entity registrations
Coordination with local or specialized counsel where appropriate
Structural planning before significant growth initiatives
-
Client or service agreements
Vendor and supplier agreements
Strategic partnership or collaboration agreements
Licensing arrangements
Wholesale or distribution agreements
Contractor and employment documentation
Multiple related agreements supporting a new business initiative
-
Employment agreements
Independent contractor agreements
Offer documentation
Confidentiality and intellectual-property provisions
Employee handbook or policy projects
Legal planning around significant team growth or organizational change
-
Website terms and policies
E-commerce or digital-service terms
Intellectual-property ownership provisions
Licensing agreements
Brand collaboration arrangements
Preliminary brand-protection planning and coordination with appropriate intellectual-property counsel where needed
-
Certain business decisions should not be evaluated from a legal perspective alone.
When relevant to the engagement, we can coordinate corporate and tax-related considerations through The Law Office of Joshua A. Lowenthal, PLLC, including the perspective of Joshua A. Lowenthal, JD, LL.M. in Taxation, particularly where decisions involve entity structure, ownership, reorganization, expansion, or future transactions.
What makes a bespoke engagement different?
Bespoke does not mean simply choosing several items from a legal menu.
The value is in looking at the pieces together.
For example, opening a second location may raise questions involving:
whether the existing entity structure still makes sense
whether another entity should be formed
how contracts should be updated
whether new employees or contractors will be added
what corporate approvals or records are needed
whether tax considerations should influence the structure
Those issues are related.
A Bespoke engagement allows us to approach them as one coordinated project rather than a series of disconnected legal tasks.
What might this look like?
Every project is different, but here are a few examples.
A Dog Daycare Adding a Second Location
The business has outgrown its original single-location structure.
A Bespoke engagement might combine entity and structural review, formation of an additional entity where appropriate, governance updates, review of key commercial agreements, and employment documentation needed for the expanded team.
A Veterinary Practice Bringing in a New Owner
The practice is preparing to change its ownership structure while continuing normal operations.
The engagement might involve ownership and governance planning, corporate approvals, revisions to governing documents, coordination around tax considerations, and related agreements documenting the new relationship.
A Pet Training Company Expanding Its Business Model
An established training company is adding educational programs, licensing content, and additional trainers.
The project might involve intellectual-property ownership provisions, licensing or contractor agreements, updates to client-facing terms, and entity or governance considerations associated with the expanded model.
An Equine Facility Expanding Its Operations
An established equine business is growing beyond its original model — perhaps adding boarding, training, lessons, breeding, events, or a second property — and the legal structure has not evolved at the same pace.
A Bespoke engagement might include reviewing the entity and ownership structure, evaluating whether separate entities are appropriate for different parts of the operation, updating governance documents, revising boarding or training agreements, addressing employee and contractor relationships, and coordinating around lease, property-use, liability, insurance, or tax considerations where relevant.
The goal is to make sure the legal structure reflects the way the facility actually operates today and can support where the business is headed next.
How to Get Started

Whenever possible, à la carte legal work is offered on a flat-fee basis.
Your quote will identify:
What work is included

Any government or third-party fees
What would constitute work outside the agreed scope
Some matters — particularly active negotiations, evolving disputes, extensive revisions, or work where the scope cannot reasonably be predicted in advance — may be billed hourly.
Bundled Pricing.
If you need several related services, we may recommend bundling them into a single flat-fee engagement.
For example:
Employment Agreement + Offer Letter
Client Agreement + Website Terms
Contractor Agreement + NDA
Operating Agreement Update + Ownership Documentation
Several related contracts for a new service line
Bundling related projects can make the engagement more efficient and may qualify for preferred package pricing.
