WHY BUTNICK LAW

Fees Follow the Problem, Not a Formula

THE BIG FIRM MODEL

Transactional & Delegated

  • Senior partners pitch the account, then delegate drafting to junior associates.
  • Focus on churning volume rather than understanding client operational realities.
  • Over-lawyering agreements to bill hours rather than closing deals.
OUR PRACTICE MODEL

Direct & Listening-First

  • You work directly with Joshua Butnick from initial call to final closing.
  • We listen deeply to your business goals before drafting a single clause.
  • Fees follow the problem, not a formula — aligning legal strategy with your actual business objectives.
