Contracts & Deals

Yes, if the deal has meaningful financial, IP, or liability exposure. Template contracts and online generators are built for the person who drafted them — not you. We review and negotiate contracts to flag one-sided terms before you sign, often saving more than our fee in avoided disputes.

A licensing agreement grants another party the right to use your IP — music, software, brand, or content — under defined conditions, for a set fee or royalty. You need one any time you’re monetizing your IP beyond direct sale. Without one, you have no legal control over how your work is used or attributed.

Free templates create real legal risk — they’re generic, often outdated, and rarely include jurisdiction-specific protections for California, Ontario, or Quebec. We create contracts built for your specific deal that hold up in court and give you negotiating leverage when terms are challenged.

Both. Drafting from scratch ensures the contract reflects your business model and risk tolerance from the start. Reviewing a contract someone else drafted lets us flag risks and negotiate specific changes. We do whichever the matter calls for; pricing is the same either way.

We address payment terms, usage rights, exclusivity windows, FTC disclosure compliance, content approval rights, and termination clauses. We work with both creators negotiating up and brands negotiating in.

We bill flat fees for clearly-scoped contract matters: trademark filings, contract drafting, license agreements. You know the total cost before we start. Hourly billing applies to disputes and matters where scope can't be predicted (litigation, complex negotiation). We tell you which billing model applies before any work begins.

Yes — across California, Ontario, and Quebec, plus cross-border deals between the US and Canada. We're licensed in all three jurisdictions. Cross-border contracts require specific provisions for governing law, venue, and dispute resolution; we handle them as regular work.
