    Tell us about your next move

A discovery call is a starting conversation—not legal advice, program acceptance, or an attorney-client relationship. Representation and services require separate confirmation.

01 / The strategic foundation brief

Start with the decision—not the entire to-do list.

This free, open-access brief helps you organize a first conversation about your business, nonprofit, or mission-driven organization.

Write one sentence that finishes this thought: “The most important decision in front of us is…” Be specific enough that someone outside your organization could understand it.

  • Name the change

    Are you preparing to launch, pursue an opportunity, strengthen operations, or address a concern?

  • Define a useful outcome

    Describe what you need to understand or decide. A clear question is more useful than a long list of disconnected tasks.

A preparation resource, not legal, tax, investment, or individualized professional advice.

02 / A useful first assessment

Five questions worth answering.

You do not need perfect answers. These questions reveal what is already clear and what needs attention.

  • Purpose

    Who do you serve, what do you offer, and why does the work matter?

  • Structure

    Who makes decisions, who performs the work, and what is already documented?

  • Resources

    What people, time, and budget can support the next stage?

  • Obligations

    Which notices, commitments, or dates need professional attention?

  • Direction

    What is the next decision that would make progress possible?

03 / Match the question to the support

The right starting point changes the conversation.

A funding question, a legal question, and a business-planning question may connect—but they are not the same engagement.

  • Build & organize

    Ideation, strategy, formation, governance, and operational priorities.

  • Prepare & communicate

    Funding readiness, opportunity research, messaging, and visibility.

  • Protect & understand

    Intellectual property, compliance questions, tax matters, and legal needs within the authorized scope.

04 / Look at what exists

Take inventory before adding more.

A practical overview helps distinguish a missing document from a decision that has not yet been made.

  • Organization

    List the people responsible for leadership, finances, records, and day-to-day delivery.

  • Materials

    Note whether you already have formation records, budgets, agreements, planning documents, or a program narrative.

  • Open questions

    Record what is unclear or incomplete without assuming which requirement applies to your organization.

05 / Opportunity needs preparation

Ask what you are ready to pursue.

Funding research is more useful when your purpose, intended use, and ability to execute are clear.

  • Purpose of funding

    Describe the project or need, who benefits, and what the resources would support.

  • Organizational readiness

    Identify the records, financial information, leadership input, and staff time you can make available.

  • Opportunity fit

    Eligibility, geography, timing, restrictions, and capacity need to be evaluated for each opportunity.

Funding decisions belong to funders. Preparation and proposal support do not guarantee awards.

06 / Prepare the conversation

Bring a short brief. Keep sensitive records private.

For a first inquiry, a concise overview is enough. The firm can explain any appropriate next steps for document review.

  • A short introduction

    Your name, organization, location, and the type of help you are exploring.

  • Your main priority

    The decision or challenge, what you have tried, and your desired next step.

  • Any relevant date

    Mention an upcoming event or deadline, without relying on a website inquiry to protect it.

Do not upload or email confidential records, account information, or sensitive legal details through the public inquiry form.

07 / Before you engage

Ask what is included—and what is not.

Clear expectations are part of choosing professional support responsibly.

  • The work

    What deliverables, meetings, revisions, and responsibilities are included?

  • The boundaries

    What requires a separate engagement, specialist, filing fee, or third-party service?

  • The timing & fees

    What is the agreed schedule, what information must you provide, and how will fees be confirmed?

Review service and pricing information

08 / Put the next step on paper

One priority. One owner. One next action.

Turn your notes into a simple decision brief you can use internally or bring to a conversation.

“Our current priority is ___. We already have ___. We need help understanding ___. The person coordinating this is ___. The next decision is needed by ___.”

This is a planning prompt, not a determination of your legal obligations or service eligibility.

09 / Use what you have learned

Start with the conversation that fits.

Choose your next step based on the question in front of you, not on having every answer ready.

  • Meet the attorney

    Watch the personal welcome and learn about the perspective behind the firm.

  • Explore support

    Review the service areas and prepare questions about scope and fees.

  • Connect directly

    Send a brief inquiry or choose a time through the existing booking link.
