Stage 2 of 4
Expand: contracts for a company that is growing
Growth means more signatures: bigger customers, a second location, the first people on payroll.
In the Expand stage we draft and review the agreements you sign every month, and for companies signing more than a few, we work on a flat monthly plan. You send the contract; we send it back marked up, with a one-page summary of what to push on.
What it covers

Questions about contracts and the plan
What does the monthly plan cover?
Short questions by phone or email, and up to four contract reviews a month. Anything larger, like a lawsuit or a sale, is quoted separately, with the plan rate taken off.
Can we cancel the plan?
Yes, with thirty days' notice. There is no minimum term.
Do you write employee handbooks?
We draft offer letters, contractor agreements and short handbooks for small teams. Larger employment questions we refer out.
