Frequently asked questions
Should a lawyer review a contract before I sign it?
For any agreement with significant money, liability or duration, yes. A review identifies one-sided terms, missing protections and clauses that would be hard to enforce, while there is still time to negotiate.
Which law should govern an international contract?
It depends on the parties, the assets and where enforcement may be needed. Many cross-border contracts choose New York or English law and international arbitration, because awards are enforceable in more than 170 countries under the New York Convention.
Do you offer flat fees for contract work?
Yes. Many contract reviews and standard agreements are offered for a fixed fee agreed in advance.
