Contract Review

We review so many standard industry contracts that we are able to offer online review of these contracts at very reasonable prices. Most contracts take between three and six hours to review. Email us the contract (preferably in Microsoft® Word format) and we will redline it with our comments and email it back to you, usually within 48 hours. After the client receives the redlined version, we will go through the contract with the client to answer any questions. We are also available to directly participate in the negotiations.
