Contract Review and Business Agreements

After the name and the company come the agreements your business runs on. Each service below has a defined deliverable, a page or document limit, and a set price, so you know what you are buying before we start.

Review is not the same as drafting

A review explains the risks in an agreement someone else wrote. A review plus redline also proposes the contract language to fix them. Drafting creates an agreement for your own transaction.

Initial Consultation

$199

• For a new client's first meeting. Later consultations are 60 minutes at $250 per meeting.
• 45 minutes on one defined business legal issue, plus a brief written recap.
• Substantial document review is separate.

Contract Review

$350

• One standard contract of up to 10 pages.
• A written list of issues and a 30-minute discussion.

Contract Review Plus Redline

$500

• The same 10-page limit, with my proposed changes marked in the document.
• A discussion and one round of revisions to the redline.

Nondisclosure Agreement

$450

• One ordinary one-way or mutual NDA, written for your situation.
• Intake and one round of revisions.

Complex intellectual property, noncompetition, or nonsolicitation terms, and cross-border issues need a separate scope.

Client-Service Agreement

$750

• One standard agreement for a defined service your business offers, covering payment, deliverables, changes in scope, termination, and allocation of risk.
• Intake and one round of revisions.

Independent-Contractor Agreement

$750

• One standard agreement for one contractor relationship, covering the work, payment, confidentiality, and ownership of the work.
• Intake and one round of revisions.

Worker classification, tax, and multi-state questions are scoped separately.

Not Included

• Negotiating with the other side, specialist tax advice, acquisitions, securities, litigation, and unusually complex or regulated transactions. I screen for these before you hire me and quote any extra work in writing first.
• A contract longer than the page limit is quoted before engagement.
