Your Legal Department for Your Small Business
Vellum Legal can be your legal department for a flat monthly fee. What’s included in the flat fee? We offer three tiers of service, from business formation & structuring, good standing, and being your registered agent, to being a full legal department that handles contract review and drafting, employment matters, trademarks, and resolving disputes short of litigation.
Currently offered in Alaska, Utah, and Washington. More states coming soon.
Who is Vellum Legal?
For years small business owners only had two choices: self-help services with no help from lawyers or the traditional law firm with the high billable hour, fancy offices, inefficient services, and an aversion to tech. Vellum Legal hits the sweet spot: fees like self-help services and the personal touch and expertise of a lawyer.
What services can be included in the flat monthly fee?
Business Formation & Structuring
The right structure for your business
We look at your unique situation and help you find the best business structure for you based on your risk tolerance balanced with the administrative cost of setting up and maintaining the structure. Then we form or adjust your business entities accordingly.
Registered Agent & Good Standing
Keep the government happy
We act as the registered agent for your company and do the filings to keep it in good standing with the state.
Legal Advice
Answers to your legal questions
Non-lawyers and self-help companies can only provide you with general information about the law. We’re lawyers who advise you by applying the law to your unique situation.
Trademarks
Protect your brand
We’ll help you determine the strength of your trademark and file the trademark application for you.
Contracts
Peace of mind with what you sign
We draft personalized contracts for you with the help of our client portal. We review contracts with personalized advice and proposed changes.
Disputes
Prevention is better than litigation
We strive to keep you out of the courthouse. If you get into a dispute, we’ll help you resolve it. If the dispute is headed to litigation or an action by a government agency, we’ll help you find an attorney to represent you.
