Questions about Contract Review
Can I upload the contract with my request?
Not yet. You describe the contract and the deal in the request. After you accept the quote, you send the document securely as part of your matter.
How much does a lawyer charge to review a contract?
Contracts vary too much for one price, so an attorney looks at yours first and sends a fixed-fee quote with the turnaround. Requesting a quote is free, and you decide whether to go ahead.
What kinds of contracts do you review?
Subcontracts from builders and general contractors, supplier and vendor agreements, commercial leases, offer letters and employment agreements, and agreements a customer asks you to sign. Contracts governed by another state's law aren't included.
Can software or AI review my contract instead?
Software can flag common terms. It doesn't know your business, advise you on what to do, or take responsibility for that advice. A licensed attorney reviews your contract from your side.
What if the other side won't change anything?
Your review explains what each risk means for you, so you can decide whether to sign as written, ask for specific changes, or walk away. Negotiating with the other side isn't part of the review.
