With Counsel

Three problems. One fix.

Wipe the fog off, section by section.

Inconsistent Branding

Every partner has a different template. Clients receive four different proposal formats in a single month.

Partner A's Template
Partner B's Template
Associate C's Template
Unified Template Library

One firm voice. Every proposal uses your locked brand system — fonts, colors, headers, and signature blocks auto-applied.

Firm Template Library12 templates

Manual Rate Calculations

Associates copy rates from last year's spreadsheet. Partners override in red. No one knows which version went to the client.

Auto-Rate Engine

Counsel pulls your current rate card, applies matter-specific adjustments, and locks in the numbers before any human can second-guess them.

You send a PDF and wait. Did they open it? Did the CFO see it? Was it forwarded to a competitor? You'll never know.

From the firms using it

The proposal is already
waiting for them.

We were losing pitches to firms half our size because their proposals looked like they came from a design agency. Counsel made ours look the same way — in the time it used to take me to find the right template.

I manage RFPs across six practice groups. Before Counsel, coordinating rates between partners took three days minimum. Now I generate a compliant, priced proposal in a single session and move on.

I used to quote from a spreadsheet on a sticky note. A client once asked if I could 'send something more formal.' I sent them a Counsel proposal that evening. They signed it before I went to bed.
