Heather B.
Heather B.
Delivering proactive and strategic guidance to health and fitness professionals and entities as they scale.
"Heather reviewed and redlined the client services agreement for my automation consultancy, including a CCPA service-provider addendum and an AI systems addendum, plus California auto-renewal requirements. Two things stood out. When I pushed back on her redline and reworked a clause myself, she engaged with the reasoning rather than defending her own draft, and where I had spotted a real conflict between an indemnity provision and a liability cap she confirmed it and told me exactly how to fix it. Second, she did not stop at the paperwork. She flagged that the contract allocation was helpful but that an operational pre-launch check would be the stronger protection, which is the kind of thing you only get from someone thinking about whether you actually stay out of trouble rather than whether the document is defensible. Clear, specific, and worth it."

Lawyer Reviews for Author Agreement Projects
Hi, I'm a first time author and I have contract from a legit publisher in the UK. My editor,(also in publishing) marke it up a little with his concerns, for you. Although you would have caught it.
"I was very pleased with all the work Sara S. did as she knew both very technical details about the contract and also had good strategic ideas. One might want to ask how long the project might take, but in some ways that's largely up to you, like how many changes are your requesting and what do you want her to look at. For the flat fee, we got a lot done. And she has expertise in many areas if you look at her reviews, but it also doesn't hurt that she did a book with a hybrid publisher (one that you have to submit your book - one who I actually spoke to at one point, and they have to choose you.) All in all I think I think we covered quite a bit for the flat fee."
