Ongoing Retainer for Law Firms (Pre-Filing Negotiation & Intake Support)

A monthly access retainer for law firms needing on-call, pre-litigation negotiation support—white-label or referral—used for early settlement, case filtering, or pre-filing escalation.

Most matters reach resolution or a clear litigation decision within 2–6 weeks, which is why firms retain us on an ongoing basis to stabilize client matters before committing attorney time.

Full Description

This retainer provides priority access for law firms that outsource or delegate the negotiation phase before litigation. We step in as either a white-label extension of the firm or a referral-based neutral, depending on case strategy.

This allows attorneys to:
• Reduce billable time spent on low-value intake
• Filter “no-case” or non-meritorious claims early
• Convert potential disputes into settlements quickly
• Preserve client relationships before escalation
• Avoid staffing negotiation in-house
