Why Smart Businesses Work with Weber Law
Responsive
When our clients call us, we know it’s important. A business needs its lawyer to return phone calls and emails promptly, especially when things are really urgent. We understand that – and our clients know we understand that, because when the deal is on the line, they know we’re available. Our clients appreciate our quick responses. Even better, they appreciate that we talk to them like real people.
Practical
Of course precision is critical, but so is getting the deal done. We understand the balance. Our lawyers have a deep understanding of business law and routinely handle sophisticated matters, but we do it without lawyering things to death. We know where to focus and where to move forward. We are business-minded business lawyers, and we practice law like you run your business.
Collaborative
Our clients like working with us, because they feel like we’re part of their team. Maybe that’s because we view the legal function as a part of your business, and we work hard to understand the larger strategy. We like working that way, and we prefer to work with clients who appreciate that approach. And when our clients have specialized needs that go beyond our expertise, we happily involve lawyers from other firms.

How Weber Law Works with Clients
FIXED PRICING
Fixed pricing is available for most services. The price is determined by the value we deliver rather than the number of hours we work, and is agreed upon in advance. Fixed pricing is popular with our startup clients, but is available for anyone.
MONTHLY RETAINERS
Recurring retainer pricing is offered as an option for clients who have ongoing work and prefer consistent, predictable legal expenses. Retainer pricing is most common among clients who use our outside general counsel services.
HOURLY PRICING
We offer traditional hourly billing for clients that just need a few hours of our time, or prefer to be charged by the hour for some other reason. When we charge hourly, we bring big firm expertise to our clients at rates that don’t include big firm overhead.
