Frequently Asked Questions

We review routine business contracts for Alabama nonprofits and startups, such as vendor, service, independent contractor, and consulting agreements. Your intake answers help us confirm your contract is a good fit.

Alabama-based organizations, or contracts governed by Alabama law. Courtney Newton is licensed in Alabama, so that’s where we can help.

You’ll get a written risk summary that explains the important terms, flags key concerns, and gives you practical recommendations to consider before you sign.

You get the written review plus an initial redline markup with suggested edits to key provisions. Negotiating with the other party and extra revision rounds aren’t included unless we agree to them separately.

We deliver within 48 business hours (Mon–Fri, excluding holidays) after your file is complete, meaning we’ve accepted your matter and every intake step is done.

Once your file is complete: your intake is done, we’ve cleared the conflict check, you’ve accepted the engagement terms and paid, and your complete contract is uploaded. If the last step happens after 7:00 p.m. Central Time, the clock starts the next business day.

Please use our intake form and secure upload instead of ordinary email. That keeps your documents protected until we’ve accepted your matter.

No. Sending us information through the website doesn’t make you a client on its own. You become a client once we’ve accepted your matter and you’ve completed the engagement steps.

If a conflict or another professional-responsibility issue means we can’t take your matter, we’ll tell you quickly. If you’ve already paid, you’ll get a full refund.

No. We focus on reviewing contracts before you sign. Lawsuits, active disputes, and other excluded matters are outside our standard service.

We’ll explain the contract, point out the risks, and give you legal guidance within the agreed scope. Whether to sign is your business decision.
