"I had a great experience working with Forest Hamilton during the acquisition process. Forest was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the APA drafting and review process. Communication was clear, revisions were handled quickly, and he helped keep the transaction moving smoothly from start to finish. I appreciated his professionalism and willingness to answer questions throughout the process. Would definitely recommend him to others needing support with business acquisition agreements and transaction-related legal work. Thanks again, Forest."

"Hired Daniel for an IP/employment review on an onboarding situation with prior-employer overlap. What started as a focused scope grew into a multi-document protective package — RTA, employment amendment, equity side letter, scope-confirmation disclaimer, and full memo. Quick turnaround on revisions, item-by-item responses to my review notes that made the back-and-forth efficient, and practical sequencing guidance on what to execute and in what order. NY-licensed since 1996 and it shows in the governing-law analysis and structural drafting choices. Would hire again."

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.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
