Frequently asked questions
The fee covers the complete protective provision set, drafted from your facts, a cover note on the provisions that matter most in your situation, and an editable word file and a clean pdf. It is fixed at this scope: one agent. 2 rounds of revisions are included. If your matter falls outside that scope we tell you before starting and quote the difference—we do not bill past a flat fee without agreeing it first.
1 to 2 weeks from a complete set of instructions, plus time for the 2 rounds of revisions included in the fee. If you are working to a court deadline or a closing date, tell us when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can meet it before you commit.
$4,550 is $325/hour × 14 hours—the time this deliverable takes in an ordinary distribution matter, at the firm's standard rate. Because it is a flat fee, the risk of the work running long sits with the firm: you pay $4,550 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
2 rounds of revisions are included. You can add more when you order, or later, at $650 per additional round. A round is one consolidated set of your comments and our revised draft back to you.
Third-party costs are never inside a flat fee and are passed through at cost, never marked up: court and agency filing fees, court reporter and transcript charges, expert witness fees, search vendor and e-discovery hosting charges, process server fees, and travel.
The business terms you have agreed so far, the counterparty and which side of the deal you are on, any existing draft, term sheet, or prior agreement, and your risk tolerance on the provisions that matter most to you. Send what you have—if something is missing we will tell you what else we need before the turnaround clock starts.
