"Matthew was absolutely excellent to work with. He responded to our project request immediately, was always available via text, phone, or email to answer any questions, and handled our demand letter quickly and efficiently. We got a response same-day as a result of Matthew's demand letter, and we had a check in our hands within a few short weeks of hiring him. He even offered to handle a few additional things, like negotiations and document signing, and finalizing the settlement. Would highly recommend Matthew for your legal needs!"

Hi, I’m Kevin Flaherty, an Illinois-licensed attorney with extensive experience negotiating and drafting complex commercial agreements for engineering firms, technology companies, public agencies, and small-to-mid-sized businesses.

Developed risk-allocation strategies around indemnities, liability limits, flow-downs, multi-party contracting structures, and high-stakes project frameworks. Built contract playbooks, drafting standards, review matrices, and workflows designed to help clients understand their risks clearly and move deals forward with confidence. Provided training and guidance to internal teams and leadership on contract strategy, compliance considerations, and best practices. I bring not only legal expertise, but also a practical, problem-solving mindset—translating dense legal terms into actionable business decisions and helping clients protect their interests without losing momentum.

I’m a commercial contracts attorney who helps growing companies get out of contract chaos and into something sustainable. I focus on the agreements that sit at the core of how companies operate—customer contracts, vendor deals, SaaS agreements, and supply and distribution relationships. Before going independent, I worked in private practice and embedded legal roles supporting technology, consumer goods, and manufacturing businesses. That experience shaped a practical, business-first approach to contracts: clear drafting, efficient negotiation, and advice grounded in how companies actually operate. I hold the CIPP/US credential and have completed AI governance training, which informs my work on data, privacy, and AI-adjacent risk terms commonly found in modern commercial agreements. If you want contracts that are clear, balanced, and usable by the people who sign and manage them, that’s where I’m most effective.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
