- Employment disputes, immigration, and IP prosecution.

We are commercial contract counsel. When you need one of the above, we will tell you plainly and point you to someone who does it properly.
Questions
Before you book
- Why fixed fee instead of hourly?
- Hourly billing prices our time. You care about the outcome. A fixed fee also means you send us the small question — the one you would otherwise answer yourself to avoid opening a file. Those small questions are usually the expensive ones.
- What does "named SLA" mean in practice?
- Every category of request has an agreed turnaround written into the engagement: NDA in one business day, SOW quoted up front, audit in three business days. On the monthly retainer, we name the SLA per request type before you sign.
- What does the money-back guarantee on NDA review cover?
- If we miss the SLA, or you do not think the review was worth the fee, you do not pay. There is no process to argue through.
- Why are prices shown as starting points?
- A two-page mutual NDA and a twelve-page one-way NDA with a non-solicit are not the same job. We quote the fixed number before we start, and it does not move after that.
- Do we have to start with a retainer?
- No. Most engagements start with a single review or the free Risk & Revenue Audit. The retainer makes sense once you notice you are sending work every week.
