Marc Hoag
I understand what's in your git diff, not just your MSA.
I'm a founder first, lawyer second. I've run my practice on AI since 2023 and I build web and iOS apps with Claude Code, Cursor, and Xcode. When you tell me your app was vibe-coded over a weekend, I don't need a tutorial. I've done it myself. As the Inaugural Chair of the Beverly Hills Bar Association's AI & the Law section, I bring the same AI-first mindset to legal work that you bring to product.
You don't need an in-house legal team. You need a lawyer who ships.
You use AI to build product faster. I use AI to deliver legal work faster. That's why flat-rate works, and why a traditional firm can't match these prices at this speed. I embed with your team and move at your pace.
- Flat monthly rate. No surprises.
- Deep expertise in AI and SaaS transactions, including MSAs, data protection, GDPR, and the EU AI Act.
- AI drafts first. I review everything. My bar license is on every document.
- Business-first approach. Risk avoidance, second.
- On-call when you need me. On my personal cell.
Pick the tier that fits your stage.
Predictable costs. Zero surprises.
AI-powered legal work means flat-rate pricing that works. Not billable hours that don't.
