Who this is for
The decisions Ontario owners bring to DRG Law for contract review
Each entry below names a decision and the legal structure DRG Law writes around it. If the matter on your desk fits one of these, send it to Damaris.
Before renegotiating
A renewal or a change to an old contract is a chance to fix what the first version got wrong. DRG Law picks out the clauses worth reopening before the conversation starts.
Before accepting a template
A contract template from the other side is almost never the most balanced version. DRG Law picks out the changes that move the contract toward your position without breaking the deal.
How DRG Law writes it
How DRG Law reads a document
The review is short, scoped, and priced before it starts. The output is the document with changes marked and a short note naming what to ask the other side for.
Read first, mark up second
DRG Law reads the document the way the lawyer on the other side wrote it. The first pass names the structural decision the document is making. The second pass marks the changes that close the gap.
The note that goes back
A short note naming the main changes, the smaller ones, and the clauses that carry the most risk if left as written. The owner reads the note and uses it to talk to the other side.
Cost in writing before work starts
Short contracts come back within two business days. Long commercial agreements come back within three to five business days.
Common questions
Common questions about contract review matters
Which contracts does DRG Law review?
Commercial agreements, employment and contractor contracts, supplier and vendor agreements, non-disclosure agreements, leases, partnership documents, and licensing agreements. DRG Law reads the contract the way the lawyer on the other side wrote it, flags the clauses that carry real business cost, and writes the changes that close the gap. If the contract is outside DRG Law's areas, Damaris will point you to a more direct lawyer.
How long does a typical review take?
A short contract of ten pages or fewer comes back within two business days. A long commercial agreement or lease comes back within three to five business days, depending on length. Tight timelines are accommodated where possible, with the turnaround confirmed in writing when the file is taken.
Does DRG Law mark up the contract, or only point out issues?
Both, on request. The standard output is the contract with changes shown directly, plus a short note naming the main changes, the smaller ones, and the clauses that carry the most risk if left as written. You can send the marked-up version to the other side directly, or use the note as a reference during the conversation.
What does a contract review cost?
The price is being finalised by file type and length. The figure is confirmed in writing before the review starts.
