I don't really have a firm policy on payment terms for early stage start-ups. Early work is almost always done on a flat-fee basis.

I have heard that some of the larger firms (like the Fenwicks and Cooley Godwards of the world) will sometimes agree to postpone payment until the client gets their Series A financing, or might accept other delayed payment terms. Do you do any of this in your practice? Also, when you do very early stage work, like incorporation, drafting shareholder agreements, etc. do you normally do that on an hourly basis or more of a flat flee basis? Ryan,
