Who this is for
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.
A monthly arrangement that covers a defined block of hours and a reduced rate above that cap. Suits owners with recurring questions who do not want to pay for a full internal legal team. The arrangement, the block, and the scope are agreed in writing before it starts. Discuss fit first.
DRG Law reads the contract, marks the priority changes, and returns a memo with the risk items named and the key clauses explained. Fixed fee by document type and length. Commercial leases, supplier agreements, employment contracts, non-disclosure agreements, and partner documents all qualify. Send the contract to start.
Annual arrangement that keeps the minute book, annual returns, and corporate resolutions current between deals. Yearly approvals from directors and shareholders, sign-offs on financial statements, and once-a-year government filings handled on time. One-time cleanups and catch-up files are quoted separately.

Common questions
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.
Turnaround depends on the document type, the length, and the deadline on the other side of the deal. The turnaround for a specific document is confirmed in writing when the file is taken.
