— Engagement

How an engagement
begins.

There is no intake form, no proposal pack, and no template. Most relationships start with a single private conversation and grow from there.

01

Conversation

A confidential thirty- to sixty-minute call to understand the situation and decide whether the work is mutual.

02

Scope

A short, written framing of the question, the work, the cadence, and the fee — usually a single page.

03

Work

Direct access to Billy. The format adapts to what the situation needs — recurring counsel, focused project, or board seat.

04

Continuation

Most relationships continue past the original mandate. Some become decade-long.
