RealTime Spark™

What is RealTime Spark™?

Every business owner needs a trusted advisor: someone who gets to know you and your business, and who is available to you for legal matters both routine and extraordinary, for discussions of micro- and macro-strategy, and sometimes just to bounce ideas around.

This is a role that is often filled by in-house counsel. The problem, of course, is that in-house legal departments are out of reach for most businesses, and one quick call to external counsel can sometimes result in a surprisingly large bill.

RealTime Spark is a subscription-based legal service focused on providing businesses with an “on call” lawyer who is available to provide counsel and advise on day-to-day legal issues.

Put simply, we’re there for you. We work hard to understand your business, how it works, and what your goals are. We have advised businesses of all shapes and sizes in many different industries, and we bring that experience to bear for your benefit.

How does it work?

Once you sign up, just call us or email us any time to get real, practical, results-oriented legal advice whenever you need it in almost any business-related area

You don’t have to worry about unpredictable bills or getting overly complicated answers to your simple question just so the lawyers can bill lots of hours

When you first sign up, we will have an in-depth meeting with you to get an understanding of your needs, prioritize your legal projects, and determine which RealTime Level is best for you

RealTime Spark is an annual, renewable contract with a minimum initial “get-to-know-you” commitment of 6 months, after which you can cancel at any time

At the end of the first 6 months, we will sit down and review how things went and decide whether your current RealTime Level is working for you, or if it needs to be adjusted

RealTime Levels

All RealTime Levels include a variety of services in a number of substantive legal areas. Contracts, quick advice, negotiations, and litigation management, in areas such as corporate governance, human resources, business transactions, service agreements, leasing, bankruptcy, and many more.

Each Level Up increases your level of legal support to provide more in-depth company involvement (regular site visits, for instance), more personal involvement (participation in negotiations, for example), or simply more services (for example, management of litigation).

RealTime Levels are geared to help your business at whatever stage.

Ignition

You really shouldn’t ignore that legal stuff.

A few times a month, something comes up and you really would like to have someone with a legal background to bounce things off of. But legal bills are too unpredictable and your cashflow is a bit tight.

You’re at a point though, that you realise you can’t continue to ignore the legals. You need someone at the other end of the line who knows what’s what and can help you recognise and assess legal risk.
