Send me the agreement. I flag the risks, explain them in plain English, and give you replacement language you can send back to the other side. Two flat-fee tiers starting at $240, with unusual scope billed via quantity-multiple of the $240 written consult or custom PayPal invoice.
Not sure? Email me the contract and I will recommend the right tier.
Rush turnaround: 24-48 hour rush may be available for an added fee. Email the contract first; I will confirm rush feasibility before you pay.
These are anonymized examples from recent client work. Every review is done by me personally, not by AI and not by a paralegal.
Client was signing a $48K/year SaaS deal. I flagged an uncapped indemnification clause, a unilateral price-increase provision, and an auto-renewal with a 90-day cancellation window buried in a definitions section.
Non-compete covered any business "related to technology" for 24 months nationwide. I rewrote it to a 12-month, California-only restriction and added a severance trigger if terminated without cause.
The MSA assigned all work product to the client including pre-existing IP and tools. I carved out the agency's pre-existing materials and added a license-back clause for deliverables.
Two co-founders with equal ownership and no tie-breaking mechanism. I added a buy-sell provision, a deadlock resolution procedure, and clarified capital call obligations.
Every contract is different, but these are the areas where I consistently find risk that clients did not expect.
Email the agreement as PDF, Word, or even a photo. Tell me your concerns and what you are trying to accomplish.
I reply with the recommended tier, the flat fee, and the turnaround time. No work starts until you approve.
You get a marked-up copy with risks highlighted, replacement language where needed, and a plain-English explanation of what matters and what does not.
I explain what to push back on and how. If you need the clauses rewritten, I handle that in the Create or Redline Existing Contract tier.
Send me the contract. I will confirm the right tier, the fee, and what I need from you.

"Very detailed and timely responses to all my queries. He was very knowledgeable of California Employment Contract Law and did a very good job of explaining all the nuances and options. I would recommend and hire again."
"Sergei reviewed a complex SaaS agreement and provided thorough redlines with clear explanations. He caught several clauses I would have missed and provided practical negotiation guidance. The replacement language was ready to send back."
"We needed someone to review a partnership agreement before signing. Sergei identified several missing provisions and drafted language for a buy-sell clause we hadn't considered. Worth every penny for the peace of mind."
Written Attorney Consultation ($240): I read the contract (up to 30 pages), identify the highest-risk clauses, and send a written attorney evaluation with plain-English risk summary and key issues flagged. Two business day turnaround. No redrafting at this tier. Create or Redline Existing Contract ($575): I review every clause, flag all risks, and deliver redlined edits plus a clean recommended version. Includes up to three rounds of email-based revisions. Unusual scope (multi-document review, extended negotiation, very long contracts) is billed at $240 per hour.
Written Attorney Consultation: 2 business days from receipt. Create or Redline Existing Contract: usually 3-5 business days from receipt of the contract and any context, depending on length and complexity. Rush 24-48 hour turnaround may be available for an added fee on either tier. Email the contract first and I will confirm rush feasibility before you pay. If a complex matter genuinely needs more time, I will tell you up front.
No. I review contracts governed by any state's law. The analysis focuses on risk identification, clause structure, and negotiation strategy. If a clause raises a jurisdiction-specific issue, I flag it. Contract review is about understanding what the document says and what it means for you, regardless of where it was drafted.
PDF or Word is ideal. I can also work from Google Docs links, photos of printed pages, or email threads. Whatever you have, send it over and I will make it work.
Yes. The $575 Create or Redline tier includes redlined replacement language you can send directly to the other side, plus negotiation guidance explaining which points are worth pushing on. Up to three rounds of email-based revisions are included at the flat fee. If you need me to engage directly with the counterparty's attorney by email or phone, that can be arranged at $240 per hour.
If I have not started the review, you can cancel for a full refund. Once I have begun, I will deliver the work. No hidden fees, no retainers, no ongoing commitments. You pay the flat fee, get the review, and that is it.
