You built your company from nothing. You know every client relationship, every vendor contract, every operational detail that keeps things running. But here is a question most business owners avoid until it is too late: What happens to all of it if you are suddenly unable to show up tomorrow?

When a CEO says “we need to defend our market position” or “let’s capture that customer segment,” they aren’t speaking literally. They’re borrowing a framework from military thinking and applying it (often unconsciously) to business decisions.

The highest attorney hourly rate documented as of 2026 is $6,000 per hour, and even second-year associates at elite firms now bill over $1,000 per hour. A couple years ago, a client told me she was quoted $2,500 per hour for a Minnesota attorney in a small firm. I thought that was unusually high, so I did some research. I found attorney hourly rates in 2023 ranged from about $300 to $2,500. This included attorneys in their second year charging over $1,000 per hour.
