What to expect & How to work with us:
Step 1: Book Your Consult
You’ll meet 1:1 on a zoom call with Attorney Sarah Gilliland to discuss your business, legal goals, and how we can help (see below for the services we offer)
Your consultation fee is credited toward your legal services if you engage Rising Brand Legal within 7 days of the consultation
Step 2: Choose Your Legal Services
We’ll recommend the best path forward (and quote clear, transparent pricing so you’ll know exactly what to expect).
You decide what support fits best — tackling one legal project at a time, ongoing legal support, or BOTH! (See Memberships below for ongoing legal support)
Step 3: Onboard + Get Started
The last 10 minutes of your consult meeting is saved for onboarding.
E-sign an Agreement with the firm to officially hire us
Have your payment method ready (ACH bank transfer preferred, but we also accept major credit cards)
Services & Pricing:
TRADEMARK REGISTRATIONS: FLAT FEE OF $2500 per trademark + government filing fees
We help you secure your brand names (such as the name of your business and the name of your key offerings & products) logo, and taglines with clear steps, honest guidance, and none of the guesswork. From search to registration, you’ll know what’s happening and why it matters.
There is a lot of BAD info out there! Many businesses who use discount online services or try to DIY the process feel great at the start, only to learn a year later that mistakes were made and they have to go back to the starting line… or worse, they have to rebrand. Don’t fall victim to embarrassing brand legal mistakes. Work with an expert attorney to protect the foundation of your business.
EMPLOYER’S LEGAL PACKAGE: FLAT FEE $3500.00
Building a team should grow your business—not your legal to-do list.
We help you hire and manage with confidence by putting the right legal structure in place from day one. With clear agreements, compliant policies, and built-in protection, you’ll know exactly what to expect (and what your team should expect from you).
Every business that hires—even one part-time contractor—faces legal obligations. Without the proper documents, things like pay disputes, confidentiality issues, or classification errors can turn into expensive lessons. The Employer’s Legal Package takes the uncertainty out of compliance so you can focus on running your business, not defending it.
What’s Included
Tailored employment and contractor agreements that reflect how your business actually operates
A customized company handbook outlining policies, expectations, and procedures
Confidentiality, IP, and non-solicitation protections that keep your business assets safe
Guidance on contractor vs. employee classification and onboarding best practices
A review call to walk through your documents and answer your questions
CUSTOM CONTRACTS: Pricing starting at $1600
Every business relationship is unique. The way you document that relationship in a signed agreement means everything to your business. What business secrets will be kept secret and what’s fair game? What ideas, systems, and methods can be shared, and what’s confidential? Who owns the things created with this business relationship? The best time to paper up your agreements (digitally of course)… is when everyone is getting along and on the same page. We can help you navigate what’s most important and protect it in a Contract.
NEW BUSINESS FORMATION: Pricing starting at $800
You’ve poured everything into your business, so what’s next? Will you sell it one day? Will the kids take over? What happens if something unexpectedly happens to you? From business structure to Estate planning, we’ll help you get everything aligned so that “what if” cloud isn’t hanging over you.
LEGACY PLANNING: Pricing Varies based on needs

"Sarah made this process simplistic and not at all intimidating, which I can imagine is a big reason people hesitate on seeking legal counsel - it can be scary! This for us however, was such a welcomed step in our business and we're happy to have Sarah as a resource and someone to refer others too when needed!" - Jill and Mary , Founders of Girls Mentorship
