Welcome to an enjoyable startup legal experience.
Fractional Legal support for high-growth companies.
Flat fees. Friendly humans. No surprises.
Finally, Legal for Founders.
By Founders.
We're solving the painful communication gap between lawyers and companies, and we know that this pain is driven by outdated business models for early-stage legal support.
We specialize in companies with <$10m in annual revenue or <40 employees, and we've supported clients in nearly every industry.
We provide education and clarity in every email and conversation. We translate complex legal implications into business advice.
We help Founders achieve peace of mind through our full-lifecycle approach. Most firms are project-driven—but we take the long view and help Founders look around corners and prepare for the future.
Your Fractional Legal Support
Our support falls into three main buckets depending on what our clients are up to.

DAY-TO-DAY
Ongoing contracts to keep the company up and running.

CLEAR PRICING
We are more affordable than most law firms because we quote every project on the front end (for free). This is the only way to
hold your lawyer accountable for the hours that they spend working on your projects.
💰 Flat Fees – You
know exactly how much your bill will be before we start work.
🫶 Founder Discounts – We love supporting first-time and underrepresented Founders.

Why have a business expert in-house?
Most legal questions come hand-in-hand with business questions. Having a former investor and current C-level business executive on the team means that we're able to answer questions
like whether a term sheet is reasonable from both a legal and business perspective.
It also means that our holiday parties are more fun! 💃🕺
Do I really need to like my lawyer?
A few years ago, pretty much everyone would say "No." However, we're excited to be living in the year 2023 🥳
As harped on in
Venture Deals (the startup Bible), the lawyers you choose to surround yourself with
are a reflection of you and your company when working with investors & customers. When you don't trust your lawyer to make a good impression, it puts a bad taste in your mouth and
investors can feel it too.
While it may be easiest to think about your lawyer as a black-box that sends you documents, we can promise it's a win-win-win when you're
supported by a team that shares your values.
Aren't big law firms more expensive because they're better?
Porsches are much faster than Jeeps (if you don't believe us, ask a Partner at a traditional law firm how fast their Porsche is). However, Jeeps are purpose-built to scale
treacherous mountains.
The same concept applies when working with a law firm—the more expensive car might be faster, but it comes with a lot of unexpected fees and won't
necessarily get you to the top of a mountain faster (and it certainly won't be faster if the driver is headed in the wrong direction).
As founders ourselves, we
understand that startups need to run lean, so we focus on the critical basics necessary to scale mountains without the additional bloat.
How many lawyers work at Peach?
One! This means that you won't be handed off between team members and we can truly get to know you. We also don't rack up legal bills training new associates—luckily for you, we've already been trained on someone else's dime 😉
