Question 1

What is a legal contract review?

Accepted Answer

A contract review involves an attorney reading through your contract with context in mind of your circumstances, and pointing out where there are any red flags, concerns and/or recommendations that you should consider before signing or otherwise agreeing to the contract.

Question 2

What exactly does our Lease Agreement review entail?

Accepted Answer

Our contract review service is designed to give you a snapshot of the legal concerns relevant to your Lease Agreement. We are here to give you confidence to either proceed or to ask the right questions to ensure that your position is protected.

Our lawyers carry out detailed reviews and provide commentary in lay terminology in annotations within the document.

You can choose what to do with this advice: either you can ask us to amend the document, ask us for further advice and assistance in regard to negotiation strategy or you can use our comments to bolster your negotiation position with the other side. Either way, our snapshot will give you the valuable insights you need to move forward.
