From pre-seed through acquisition — Black Harbor provides battle-tested legal counsel to founders, operators, and growth-stage companies who can't afford to get it wrong.
We built Black Harbor for operators, founders, and builders who don't have time for legal friction — but who understand exactly what's at stake when things go wrong.
We understand cap tables, vesting schedules, SAFEs, and term sheets because we work with founders every day. We speak your language — and protect your interests with precision.
Most law firms bill by the hour, creating misaligned incentives. We offer flat-fee packages and subscription retainers so your legal costs scale with your company — not your attorney's calendar.
Everything you share with us is protected by attorney-client privilege. Unlike AI tools, your strategy stays protected. We are your counsel — not a data source.

Flat-fee packages and subscription retainers designed for companies that need certainty — not billable-hour surprises.
Formation
Entity formation, founders' agreements, IP assignment, equity structure, and vesting schedules — built right from the start.
Due Diligence
A comprehensive review of your corporate documents, cap table, IP assignments, and material contracts before investors or acquirers look.
⭑ Most Popular
Your general counsel on a subscription. One flat monthly fee — unlimited questions, contract reviews, compliance guidance, and strategic support. Your strategy stays privileged.
Exit & M&A
Acquisitions, secondaries, or liquidity events — we represent founders and companies through the full transaction lifecycle.
All packages include an initial consultation. Scope may be customized. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
A Note on AI & Privilege
In a recent federal case, a party's litigation strategy entered into an AI platform was ruled discoverable by opposing counsel — the documents were not protected by attorney-client privilege because they had been shared with a third-party AI service. Courts have confirmed that AI chat logs, including queries about legal strategy, can be compelled in discovery. What you tell your attorney is privileged. What you type into ChatGPT may not be.
At Black Harbor, everything you share with us is protected by attorney-client privilege — a legal protection no AI subscription can replicate.
