Which vertical is right for my business?
Advisory handles strategic, legal, financial, and M&A work — the general-purpose professional services layer for any business. Health serves practices, networks, and health-system adjacent companies with HIPAA-aware workflows. Energy serves E&P, midstream, power, and energy-services companies. If you're unsure, start with Advisory — we'll route you to the right division based on your engagement scope.
Is this legal advice?
No. CYPHR provides document preparation and advisory services — not legal advice, tax opinions, or professional services requiring licensure. We prepare the work product. Your attorney, CPA, or other licensed professional provides the sign-off where required. We make their job easier and your costs lower.
How is this different from LegalZoom or other template services?
Templates are generic starting points. CYPHR produces customized deliverables built to your jurisdiction, your industry, your counterparty, and your specific business context. Every document goes through cross-functional review — the same contract draft is reviewed for legal exposure, tax implications, and operational feasibility before it reaches you.
What if I don't know what I need?
That's what "Start a Conversation" is for. Tell us about your business and what you're trying to accomplish. We'll recommend the right engagement path and vertical — and if CYPHR isn't the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
Can I start with Direct Advisory and move to a division later?
Yes. Direct Advisory is the natural entry point for most engagements. If your business needs become vertical-specific — healthcare regulatory work, energy asset transactions, fund-level advisory — we'll transition you to the appropriate division. Engagement history and context carry forward. You don't start over.
What's the typical contract structure?
Direct Advisory engagements are project-based with fixed pricing and a defined scope of work. Division Deployment operates on an annual engagement with monthly structuring. PE Fund engagements are priced based on fund size, portfolio depth, and engagement scope — typically on a retained basis. All CYPHR engagements include unlimited revisions and a client-ready quality standard.
How does PE fund engagement work?
PE Fund engagements are handled at the firm level, not the individual portfolio company level. The fund maintains a single point of contact with CYPHR. Portfolio company work — particularly in Health or Energy — may involve division specialists, but the fund relationship and institutional memory remain unified at the GP level. We operate as the analytical infrastructure across the portfolio.
