CHALLENGE

Common Concerns When Starting a Business

Many entrepreneurs face the same legal uncertainties when launching a business.

A business partner asked for a contract, but I have no idea how to draft one

Is it really safe to just use a template from the internet?

I cannot afford a retainer attorney, but I want to avoid legal risks

Monthly retainer fees are too much at this stage...

I do not even know what kinds of contracts I need to start my business

Service agreement? Subcontract? What is the difference?

Even after drafting a contract, I worry about handling revision requests from the other party

What if they ask me to change something?

SERVICE FLOW

How It Works

In 2-3 sessions, we build the legal foundation your business needs.

Session 1: Interview & Legal Needs Assessment

We learn about your business model, operations, and transaction flow in detail. We identify what kinds of counterparties you deal with, what you sell or provide, and how transactions are structured, then determine which contracts your business requires. We also discuss the direction for key provisions at this stage.

Interview on business operations and transaction structure
Identification and prioritization of required contracts
Discussion of key provisions for each contract

Approx. 1 hour / Online available

◆

Contract Drafting (Attorney's Work)

Based on the interview, our attorney drafts contracts optimized for your business. These are not generic internet templates but documents tailored to your specific business characteristics, transaction types, and risk profile. We leverage AI-assisted multi-perspective legal checks for efficient drafting.

2-4 contracts / Approx. 1-2 weeks

Session 2: Contract Walkthrough & Practical Guidance

We explain each contract clause by clause. "Why is this provision necessary?" "How should you respond if the other party requests changes?" "What are the non-negotiable points?" We share the practical knowledge you need to use these contracts effectively.

Explanation of each clause and its key points
Tips for contract execution and negotiation
Red lines: "When you should consult a lawyer"
On-the-spot revisions if you have change requests

Approx. 1 hour / Online available

Session 3: Follow-Up (As Needed)

We answer questions that arise after you start using the contracts and address any issues from negotiations with counterparties. If contract revisions are needed, we handle them in this session.
