- Negotiation support, including sitting on the call when it helps.

Questions
Before you get in touch
- Why fixed fee instead of hourly?
- Hourly billing prices our time. You care about the outcome. A fixed fee also means you send us the small question, the one you would otherwise answer yourself to avoid opening a file. Those are usually the expensive ones.
- How can you be cheaper than a firm without being worse?
- Because a firm's revenue is the hours, so nothing in their model rewards efficiency. Ours is the outcome, so speed is worth something to us. The technology takes the hours out of the mechanical half. The judgement is ours, and we read every document that goes out.
- What does "guaranteed turnaround" mean in practice?
- Every category of request has a turnaround written into the engagement before you sign. Not an estimate, and not “as soon as we can.” A date, agreed in advance, so you can plan around it.
- When does the clock start?
- When we have everything we need to do the work, which usually means the documents and any context we have asked for. We will confirm in writing that the clock has started and what the date is, so there is never a question about it later.
- Are you a law firm?
- Legal work is delivered through Scott Law, our firm in Vancouver. Contract Flow Solutions is how that work is packaged and priced: fixed fees, guaranteed turnarounds, no hourly billing.
- What happens when something is outside what you do?
- We tell you the same day and point you to someone who handles it properly. Litigation, employment disputes, immigration, IP prosecution, regulatory filings and tax are all outside what we do.
- Who actually does the work?
- Richard does. Every document that goes out has been read by him.
- Why are prices shown as starting points?
- A two-page mutual NDA and a twelve-page one-way NDA with a non-solicit are not the same job. We quote the fixed number before starting, and it does not move after that.
- What counts as fair use?
- At onboarding we look at how much contract work your business actually generates in a month, and the fee is set against that. It is there so neither of us is surprised. In practice, if you are sending a normal month of work, you will not think about it.
