Common questions
What is a contract review?
A careful reading of a contract before you sign it, to identify risks, ambiguities and unfavourable terms, and to suggest changes that better protect your interests.
What is contract template creation?
Drafting a standard contract you can reuse for similar transactions. It saves time, keeps your terms consistent and reduces the chance of missing an important clause.
How much does a review cost?
It depends on the length and complexity of the contract. You receive a clear cost estimate before we start.
How long does it take?
It depends on the contract. We confirm when you will receive the review before we start, so you can plan around your signing date.
Should I send the full contract in my first email?
Send a short description first if the contract is confidential. We will tell you how to share it securely once the scope is agreed.
