Why Neptune Legal

A prenup experience worth having.

Traditional prenups are often rushed, adversarial, or built from templates. We take a different approach — thoughtfully designed agreements that reflect your real priorities, built through a process that actually brings couples closer together.

Boutique, not boilerplate.

Every agreement is customized to your financial reality — whether that means startup equity, RSUs, real estate, or complex compensation. No templates. No guesswork.

Collaborative by design.

We structure the process to reduce friction between partners, not add to it. Clear guidance, open conversation, and an agreement both of you can stand behind.

Technology that works for you.

Through our partnership with Neptune's platform, intake is streamlined, communication is seamless, and you spend less time on logistics — and more on what matters.

Our Philosophy

A prenup isn't planning for failure.

It's building with intention.

As explored in Beyond the Ring, the prenup process can be one of the most meaningful conversations a couple has before marriage — a chance to discuss values, expectations, and financial vision openly, and without pressure.

When done right, a prenup isn't a defensive document. It's a proactive tool that creates clarity, reduces the potential for future conflict, and strengthens the foundation your relationship is built on.

We designed our entire process around that belief.

As explored in Beyond the Ring by Michael C. Cotugno
"The couples who approach a prenup as a shared project — rather than an adversarial negotiation — come out of the process closer than when they went in."

Meet Michael C. Cotugno, Esq.

Managing Partner · Neptune Legal, P.C.

Michael has been practicing family law for more than 30 years. After spending the first two decades of his career in litigation, he saw firsthand the emotional and financial toll couples face when key financial issues are left unresolved. That experience changed the direction of his practice entirely.

Today, Michael works exclusively on premarital agreements, postnuptial agreements, and mediation — with a particular depth of expertise in complex financial situations: startup equity, RSUs, stock options, and immigration considerations. He drafts more than 200 prenups each year.

He's known for translating dense legal concepts into clear, practical guidance — and for guiding couples through the process with confidence, care, and no unnecessary complexity.
