Everything you need to know about LegalGuard PLLC and how we help clients with transactional legal work.
LegalGuard PLLC and LegalGuard LLC are separate legal entities. LegalGuard PLLC is a Michigan professional limited liability company through which licensed attorneys provide legal services — including M&A, corporate governance, and data privacy counsel. LegalGuard LLC is a separate, non-legal business advisory and consulting company; it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal services. The two work side-by-side for clients who want both tracks, but engaging one does not create a relationship with the other, and each is engaged and billed separately.
LegalGuard PLLC is built for founders and executives navigating transactional legal work who want Big Law–caliber counsel without Big Law's staffing bloat or billing incentives. Whether you're:
LegalGuard PLLC provides direct, partner-level legal counsel — not a rotating team of unfamiliar associates.
M&A (sell-side and buy-side), corporate governance, and data privacy. Where a matter calls for expertise outside these core areas, LegalGuard PLLC works with a vetted network of subject-matter specialists so clients get the right expertise without adding another law firm relationship to manage.
No — not automatically. Browsing this website or sending a message through our contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship is formed only through a separate, express written engagement agreement signed by both you and LegalGuard PLLC. Until that agreement is in place, please don't send confidential or privileged information.
LegalGuard PLLC is organized under the laws of the State of Michigan. Individual attorney licensure varies by attorney — see each attorney's bio for their specific states of admission. For matters outside an attorney's licensed jurisdiction, LegalGuard PLLC works with local counsel or its SME network as needed.
LegalGuard PLLC's attorneys bring Big Law deal experience — including M&A and private equity work at firms like Kirkland & Ellis — but apply it through a deliberately limited docket, direct partner-level attention, and fee structures built around your deal's actual complexity rather than billable-hour incentives.
Fees are value-driven and scoped to the matter rather than billed purely by the hour. Because LegalGuard PLLC keeps a focused docket, we can price transactional work in a way that rewards efficiency instead of penalizing it. Reach out and we'll scope your matter before any engagement begins.
Yes. Many clients use LegalGuard LLC for operational and compliance-program work and LegalGuard PLLC for the legal services layered on top of it — for example, LegalGuard LLC building a contracting playbook while LegalGuard PLLC handles the M&A transaction itself. Each engagement is scoped and billed separately, and using one doesn't obligate you to use the other.
