How an engagement runs.

No retainer, no platform to join, no minimum volume. One matter at a time, or a standing arrangement once you know the work.

  1. Send the brief

    Email the task, the documents, the deadline and any house style. An NDA comes first if you need one.

  2. Fixed quote

    Within one business day: scope, fee, delivery date and any assumptions, in writing.

  3. Delivery

    Finished documents in Word or PDF, with sources, a method note and the limits of the work stated.

  4. Revisions

    Changes within the agreed scope are included. Questions on the work are answered by email or call.

What every deliverable carries.

  • Pinpoint sourcesParagraph, page or column for every proposition, and a link where the source is public.
  • A method noteDatabases, search strings, date limits and what was deliberately left out.
  • The weak points, statedAdverse authority, gaps in a combination, unsettled law. You see them before your opponent does.
  • Your formatYour template, citation style and defined terms, so nothing needs rebuilding.
  • Human-verifiedAI tools may speed up drafting, but every citation and statement is checked by hand against its source, and confidential material only goes into tools that do not train on it.
Adapted from the SaaS redline sample, clause 11Full sample

In no event will Provider's either party's total liability exceed the fees paid and payable by Customer in the three (3) twelve (12) months preceding the claim event giving rise to liability. This limit does not apply to a party's indemnification obligations, or to gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.

Comment C7, High. Three months' fees would not cover the cost of notifying individuals after a single data incident. A 12-month mutual cap is the common starting point; data breaches are usually handled by a separate super-cap.

Lawyer-engineer led. Supervised by you.

Every matter is handled at senior level from brief to delivery, by a lawyer trained in both law and engineering.

That combination is why patent charts read correctly on the technology and why contract and SaaS work reflects how software is actually built. It is also why we are strict about the line between support and advice: the work is prepared for a supervising lawyer, who reviews it, adopts it and remains responsible for the advice given to the client. That is the model described in ABA Formal Opinion 08-451 on outsourcing legal support.
