Before law school I built the contract management system for a publicly traded medical device company — so I read your agreement the way the people who have to live with it will, not just the way a court would. I draft and review business contracts on a fixed fee, with the delivery date agreed before I start. You get the redlined document plus a short written summary of what I changed, why it matters, and what I'd push back on if the other side objects. Revisions are included — I'd rather get the document right than count rounds. NDAs, MSAs and SOWs, contractor and employment agreements, SaaS terms, terms of service and privacy policies, operating agreements, vendor and construction contracts, and full contract review with a plain-English risk summary. Send me the document and what you're trying to accomplish with it, and I'll come back with a fixed fee and a date.

My background in law and senior HR leadership allows me to evaluate both legal risk and real-world business considerations. I provide clear, responsive counsel designed to protect clients’ interests while helping them move business decisions forward efficiently.

Fema Birch, Esq. | Birch & Associates PC Fema Birch is the founder of Birch & Associates PC, a law firm providing practical, business-focused legal counsel to individuals, entrepreneurs, and companies. His practice focuses on contract drafting and negotiation, business transactions, corporate matters, commercial disputes, and general outside counsel services. Fema works with clients throughout the lifecycle of a business relationship—from structuring an agreement and identifying potential risks at the outset to resolving disputes when contractual relationships break down. His experience includes drafting, reviewing, and negotiating service agreements, independent contractor agreements, employment-related agreements, vendor and consulting contracts, settlement and release agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, commercial leases, corporate agreements, and other business contracts. In addition to private practice, Fema’s experience as in-house counsel provides him with a practical understanding of how contracts operate after they are signed. He approaches agreements not simply as legal documents, but as tools for allocating risk, establishing clear expectations, protecting the client, and reducing the likelihood of expensive disputes. His broader experience includes corporate governance, regulatory and compliance matters, healthcare-related business issues, employment matters, commercial collections, dispute resolution, and litigation. This combination of transactional and litigation experience allows him to evaluate contracts with an eye toward both accomplishing the client’s immediate business objectives and anticipating how contractual provisions may ultimately be interpreted or enforced. Fema earned his Juris Doctor from New York Law School and is admitted to practice law in New York and Indiana. At Birch & Associates PC, the focus is straightforward: responsive communication, practical advice, transparent expectations, and legal work tailored to the client’s actual business needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
