About Us
The Mission.
OLG was founded to provide value for its customers, employees, community and profession. We keep operating costs low while staying in-tune with the cutting edge of the industries most likely to provide long-lasting economic benefit and social good-will. We operate not to survive but to succeed.
The Ideology.
We provide counsel by using the ideology that all our planning must provide a concrete result quickly with little to no waste. Our Closed Loop Planning Paradigm highlights this:
We apply this ideology to every aspect of our business, from the law firm to the business consulting to the athlete management. OLG strives to serve our clients in the best, most complete and long-lasting way.
The Value Model.
At the outset of our engagement, we explain to you our traditional and alternative billing policies. We find that working with attorneys is often a difficult experience because much of the value we provide appears to be arbitrary or difficult to define. In order to remedy this situation and to create an environment of collaboration, we offer several models of client billing, all of which use our Value Approach. The Value Approach means at the end of the engagement, you can adjust our fee up, down or keep the same depending on your experience. The only requirement is that you complete a survey that helps us improve our service.
Here are our billing models:
- Flat Rate - This model is applied to work with set costs like trademark applications or corporate formations.
- Retainer - We offer a monthly retainer to those clients who have recurring need for legal counsel and can commit to a longer relationship. In this scenario, we provide a discounted fee that reflects the vesting of the relationship.
- Hourly - Our hourly rates are between $225 and $300 an hour for our attorney's work while our staff rates are capped at $40 an hour
For our business costs and communications, we provide our team members with the ability to bill or not bill depending on what benefit the communication provided. We do not believe in fees for document transmittals via e-mail or fax or for billing time for each phone call if the majority of the call did not relate to business. We will, however, provide you with a detailed account of the time we did spend on your file so that we honor ourselves and you by keeping true to our primary business mission.
Please see our "Clients" page to see the types of endeavors and clients for whom we provide value.
