if you owned a software company of about 10 people, what would be a reasonable monthly payment to have a lawyer on retainer? we wouldnt use him for more than some legal documents and conversations from time to time.... but the catch is he owns part of the company and we want to find a reasonable 'buy out' for him. the company doesnt really have any money so paying him straight off isnt in the cards. i am thinking 5k a month starting a year after we reorganize or something like that
You mean like a good lawyer or good dolphin?
honestly like a poor mans david spada

i mean the guy is a good lawyer we just dont need him for the business itself and would rather just pay him off somehow. if we can pay him off while keeping him in the cards when we need legal help i think it will be the best incentive for him to sign off his contract. well just tell him plainly that the other option is to collapse the company and nobody gets anything.
