Available for review

01

Monthly counsel arrangement

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.

02

Contract review before signing

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.

03

Company records upkeep

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.

Questions DRG Law hears

What owners ask about ongoing counsel

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 contract review take?

A short contract of ten pages or fewer comes back within two business days. A long commercial agreement or lease within three to five business days, depending on length. The turnaround is confirmed in writing when the file is taken.

What does the records upkeep service cover?

Yearly approvals from directors and shareholders, sign-offs on financial statements, audit waivers, entries in the official record book, share list updates, change-of-address filings, and the once-a-year filing required by the Ontario Business Corporations Act.

How is the monthly counsel arrangement structured?

A defined monthly block of hours at a fixed rate, with a reduced rate for hours above the cap. The block, the rate, and the practice areas in scope are agreed in writing before the arrangement starts. Discuss fit first.
