"Mike did strong, thoughtful work on our contractor IP assignment and was clear about the tradeoffs on worker classification. Revisions were handled well and all within the flat fee. Only knock is responsiveness, there were a few multi-day gaps and I had to follow up to keep things moving. Would still recommend for the quality of the drafting."

"I contracted Alen for a commercial lease review. I couldn't be happier with the results, as he exceeded my expectations. He completed the project 2 days ahead of the estimated timeframe, gave me high quality feedback, and suggested alternate language. We had a call at the end and he answered all of my questions in detail. Incredible value. I'm so happy I chose Alen, and I definitely recommend him to anyone else needing legal assistance."

Business Contracts Attorney | Ex-In-House Legal Operations

Los Angeles, California
1 Yr Experience
Licensed in CA
American University Washington College of Law

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.
