Out Hiring a large firm
Sure, relying on a full-service “big-law” firm is attractive. They’ll make you feel like they can do everything. But there are several hidden (and not so hidden) costs to this approach, especially for early stage companies:
Great “convenience” comes with high legal spend (it’s better to not look at that deferred fees bill 🙈)
Being a small fish in big ocean means a lack of personal attention and long wait times
They’ll always pair you with their lawyer for “X”, but that’s not always the best lawyer for “X”. Boutique firms are better for many niches
