Fellow is built for startups that need practical legal support without the old law firm experience. We combine real startup-law judgment with clear pricing, fast turnaround, and systems that make routine work more efficient. You are not buying templates or self-help tools. You are getting lawyers who understand startup speed, fundraising pressure, commercial negotiation, and the reality of building across markets.

We use fixed fees wherever the output is defined, such as formations, contract reviews, financings, and standard corporate work. For advisory work, negotiations, and bespoke questions, we bill hourly because the work depends on time, judgment, and changing facts. For ongoing clients, we offer subscriptions that bundle recurring legal needs into predictable monthly support. Our goal is simple - align pricing with the value of the work, not the inefficiency of the process.

Our ideal client is a venture-backed startup, Seed to Series C, with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area and recurring legal needs across contracts, corporate matters, fundraising, and day-to-day advice. We also work closely with investors and with international founders expanding into the US. That cross-border depth is one of our strengths, especially for founders moving between Europe and the Bay Area.

We do not handle litigation, tax advice, accounting, or valuation work directly. We are business lawyers for startups. Our role is to help prevent legal problems, support growth, and coordinate with trusted specialists when a matter falls outside our scope. If you need litigation, tax, accounting, or another specialist area, we can help identify the right partner.

Yes, if the company has Bay Area ambition or a meaningful US startup-market connection. Many of our clients are based across Europe and the US, but they are building toward US venture capital, US customers, or a Delaware structure that fits the global startup market.
