Frequently Asked Questions

Clark Meyers PC focuses on five core practice areas: Fractional General Counsel, commercial real estate, business transactions and M&A, contract drafting and compliance, and business formation and entity structuring.

We also handle dispute resolution, corporate governance, succession planning, and regulatory compliance audits.

Idaho: 4865 East Franklin Road, Suite 100, Nampa, ID 83687. We serve clients throughout the Treasure Valley including Boise, Meridian, Eagle, and Caldwell.

We work with growth-stage businesses generating $1M to $50M in annual revenue. These companies are typically past the startup phase but not yet large enough to justify a full-time in-house legal department. Our Fractional General Counsel model is specifically designed for this segment.

Our co-founders are licensed in both Idaho and California. Lee Clark holds Idaho and California bar memberships (Bar #175238). Conor Meyers is a member of the California Bar (#157601). This dual-state licensing is essential for clients who operate across both jurisdictions.

We have deep expertise in construction and development, agriculture, and professional services. Co-Founder Conor Meyers serves as CEO and General Counsel of ACE Building Envelope Design, giving us unique operational insight into construction law. We also serve general business clients across a wide range of industries.

Fractional General Counsel (FGC) is an embedded legal partnership where a senior attorney serves as your company’s general counsel through a flat monthly retainer, rather than billing by the hour. You get Fortune 500-caliber legal leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time in-house hire. Read our complete guide to FGC.

FGC retainers typically range from $4,000 to $8,000 per month, depending on the complexity and scope of your legal needs. This is a fraction of the $150,000 to $250,000+ annual cost of a full-time in-house attorney when you factor in salary, benefits, and overhead. See our detailed pricing breakdown.

No. Clark Meyers PC uses flat-fee monthly retainers for FGC engagements and fixed-fee pricing for project-based work. This eliminates billing friction and ensures you call us when you need us, not only when you can justify the expense. Learn why hourly billing fails businesses.

Your FGC retainer includes proactive legal strategy, contract drafting and review, regulatory compliance monitoring, board and management advisory, vendor and partner negotiations, and ongoing legal risk assessment. You have direct access to a co-founder for any legal matter that arises. See our detailed FGC FAQs.

FGC is typically the right fit if your company generates $1M+ in annual revenue, faces recurring legal needs (contracts, compliance, negotiations), and wants proactive counsel rather than reactive firefighting. Take our assessment to find out if FGC fits your business stage.

With FGC, you get the same embedded legal leadership as in-house counsel but at a fraction of the cost, with broader expertise (two co-founders instead of one attorney), and without the overhead of salary, benefits, and office space. See our full comparison.

Call us at 855-208-2049 or fill out the form on our contact page. We respond to all inquiries within one business day.

After an initial strategic consultation and engagement letter, we can typically begin work within one to two weeks. For urgent matters such as pending deals, imminent deadlines, or active disputes, we can often accommodate expedited timelines.

Come prepared to discuss your business model, current legal challenges, revenue range, growth plans, and any pending legal matters or deadlines. If you have existing contracts, operating agreements, or corporate documents you want reviewed, bring those as well. There is no wrong answer — the consultation is designed to understand your situation.

For companies that are not ready for a full FGC retainer, we offer project-based engagement at fixed fees. Examples include contract review packages, entity formation, specific transaction representation, and targeted compliance audits. We provide a written scope and fixed price before work begins.

No. Our flat-fee model means no surprise invoices, no billing for brief phone calls, and no charges for internal research time. The only additional costs that may arise are third-party expenses like filing fees, court costs, or specialized expert consultants, which we disclose in advance.

Yes. Our FGC engagements include reasonable termination provisions. We believe in earning your business each month. If your needs change, we can adjust the scope and fee accordingly. Our goal is a long-term partnership, not a contract trap.

Our offices are in Nampa, Idaho and Concord, California, and most of our clients are in these regions. However, many legal matters can be handled remotely. If your business operates in Idaho or California, or if you are considering forming an entity in either state, we can likely assist regardless of where you are physically located.

The differences are significant — California has an $800 minimum franchise tax, stricter employment laws (including non-compete restrictions under Business and Professions Code Section 16600), and more complex regulatory requirements. Idaho offers lower filing costs, a more business-friendly regulatory environment, and no franchise tax. Our state comparison guide covers the key differences in detail.
