Business & Employment

Clear agreements protect a business before problems start, and a fair exit protects you when a job ends. I advise founders, small companies and individual employees on the documents that shape working life.

Fees

Flat fees from $950

Timeline

Typically 2–6 weeks

Approach

Drafting, review and negotiation

Free, confidential 20-minute first call

Most business disputes start with an agreement that was never written down, or one that was signed without being read. Most employment problems start the same way. My job is to make the paperwork clear before anyone has to argue about it.

What I help with

  • Forming an LLC or corporation, with an operating agreement that fits how you actually work

  • Drafting and reviewing vendor, client and partnership contracts

  • Reviewing offer letters, non-competes and employment agreements before you sign

  • Negotiating severance and exit terms

  • Workplace policies and handbooks for small employers

How it works

We start with a short call about what you need and when. For most transactional work I quote a flat fee in writing, then draft or review the documents and walk you through every clause that matters.

What it costs

Company formation and standard contract reviews are flat-fee matters, usually from $950. Severance negotiations are billed hourly with a written estimate up front.
