You need a GC, but not the salary that comes with it.
Scopal Firm gives SaaS founders a dedicated General Counsel — available on subscription, invested in your long-term success, and priced for companies that aren't ready to hire full-time.
Prior in-house experience
Professional associations
Having a lawyer available consistently costs less than calling one in a crisis.
Most SaaS founders only engage their lawyer when something breaks — a bad contract, a compliance gap, a dispute that should have been caught in the term sheet. By then, the damage is done and the bill is large. A Scopal subscription means you have legal guidance before the crisis. That's how proactive legal support pays for itself.
Here's how it works
Step 1
Schedule a fit call
Tell us about your company and what’s on your mind. It’s a 30-minute conversation, not a sales pitch.
Step 2
We scope your legal needs
We map your priorities, clarify scope, and tailor your engagement so you’re covered where it matters most.
Step 3
You get a dedicated legal partner
Scott becomes your General Counsel — embedded in your business, available when you need him, and building a deeper understanding of your company over time.
The cost of getting this wrong is real.
One clause you didn't catch. One compliance gap found too late. One partnership that unravels because the paperwork wasn't right. Reactive legal doesn't just cost more — it costs you deals, relationships, and time you can't get back. The longer you run without dedicated counsel, the more exposure accumulates quietly in the background.
What it feels like to have a legal partner, not a vendor.
- You sign contracts with confidence, because your GC reviewed them.
- You move fast on deals and hires, because legal isn't a bottleneck.
- You sleep better, because someone who knows your business is watching for what could go wrong before it does.
