Fees

Pascal Anastasi, Esq. provides proactive legal services designed for asset protection of business owners and their company.  You can be assured the 30+ years of experience will be applied to provide you with the most cost effective and reasonable solution available.

General Counsel Services

Wouldn’t it be nice if you weren’t getting charged by the hour?  The Anastasi Law Firm understands business and the importance of budgeting, cost containment and cost-benefit objectives.  It is important that the legal needs, the business needs and the legal fee structure are well aligned.  The firm’s true experience with business transactions translates into more meaningful and accurate evaluations.

The General Counsel service is uniquely designed for each client relationship for businesses that appreciate the value of being proactive, like the predictability of a monthly fee and the attention of personalized legal service.  This service is essentially a part-time, in-house, General Counsel role that is established for the benefit of the business.  Generous service content on a flat monthly rate tailored to your company’s need for legal and business counsel is foundation of the plan.  The goal is to allow the client to focus on success in their business, and leave the legal matters to a professional.  All plans include regular Review Meetings, a generous and specified number of included hours for document review, document editing, document & letter preparation, and telephone consultations, and steep discounts on hourly rate for services in excess of monthly allocation; litigation services are not included.

  • General Counsel Silver Plan | Starting at $1,500 per month
  • General Counsel Gold Plan | Starting at $2,500 per month

Hourly Rates

Managing an efficient office allows the Anastasi Law Firm to offer its clients legal rates that are reasonable. Anastasi Law Firm hourly billing does not use any standard minimums; just actual time.  Costs are not subject to mark-up.

  • The Standard Hourly Rate for Business Matters is $550, effective 4.1.2024.

We also offer hybrid rates that reflect a discounted hourly rate combined with a performance fee when certain specified goals and objectives are attained.  The hybrid structures are purely negotiable and designed to meet the need of the client and the service provided.

Incorporation and Limited Liability Company Formation Fees

The attorney fee for a California Incorporation or Limited Liability Company formation is usually in the range of $1,500 – $3,000 depending upon complexities and the number of Corporate Shareholders or LLC Members.   State filing fees and third party charges incurred are usually under $300.  Corporations with multiple shareholders are strongly encouraged to enter into a Buy-Sell Agreement, which contemplates and resolves by agreement in advance future potential events involving changes between the shareholders.  The fee for that can be quoted after our initial meeting.
