Who We Serve
Built for companies at the legal inflection point.
The company that is ready for this.
Our clients share a common profile. They are growing companies — typically $20M to $200M in annual revenue — that have reached the point where legal is no longer a peripheral concern. It is a strategic one.
They are not startups figuring out their first contracts. They are established businesses navigating real complexity: acquisitions, financing rounds, employment disputes, regulatory requirements, and the ongoing legal infrastructure that a growing company requires.
They are actively considering whether to hire a General Counsel — and when they calculate the true cost of that decision, they realize there is a better answer.
The Profile
Annual Revenue
$20M – $200M
The sweet spot where legal complexity exceeds ad-hoc outside counsel capacity but in-house hiring is a major commitment.
Annual Legal Spend
$150K+
If you are spending this on outside counsel, you are already paying for a legal department — just not getting one.
Time Wasted on Legal Admin
3–6 months
The CEO and CFO are managing legal relationships, reviewing invoices, and coordinating attorneys instead of running the business.
Horizon to Liquidity or Scale
1–3 years
PE-backed companies, founder-led businesses approaching exit, or companies scaling toward a significant milestone.
Does any of this sound familiar?
The CEO who is also the GC
You are reviewing contracts, managing outside counsel relationships, and making legal calls that you are not fully qualified to make — because there is no one else. Every hour you spend on legal is an hour you are not spending on growth.
The PE-backed company preparing for exit
Your investors expect clean legal infrastructure. You have 18 months to get there. Hiring a GC is a 6-month process with a 6-month onboarding lag. You do not have that time. You need a team that is operational now.
The company that just got burned
A contract dispute, an employment claim, or a deal that went sideways because legal was not at the table early enough. You cannot afford for that to happen again. You need legal integrated into the business, not called after the fact.
The company considering its first GC hire
You have run the numbers. A GC plus support staff plus benefits plus technology is $600,000 a year — and that assumes you hire the right person. BLM gives you the same capability at a fraction of the cost, with no hiring risk.
The company with unpredictable legal bills
Some months it is $8,000. Some months it is $80,000. You cannot plan around it. You cannot budget for it. A flat monthly fee changes everything about how you think about legal.
The company that has outgrown its current counsel
Your outside counsel is excellent at what they do, but they are not integrated into your business. They do not know your strategy, your team, or your risk tolerance. You need someone who does.
