FAQ
Common questions.
General answers about Klexco Legal services, pricing, and next steps.
Getting Started & Choosing a Service
01Which service do I need?+
Start with what you need accomplished. If you already have an agreement that needs review, choose Contract Review. If you need a new agreement created, choose Contract Drafting. If you want individualized legal guidance, choose an Attorney Consultation. Businesses with recurring needs can ask about Business Counsel Plans. If none of those clearly fit, choose Other / Request a Quote or email hello@klexcolegal.com with a brief, non-confidential description.
02I don't see my issue listed. Can Klexco still help?+
Possibly. Klexco handles a variety of contract, business, commercial, and related legal matters that may not be specifically listed. Email hello@klexcolegal.com with a brief, non-confidential description. Klexco can let you know whether the matter fits its current services and what the next step may be.
03Do I need an attorney?+
Not every situation requires the same level of legal help. Attorney review can be especially useful before you sign an agreement, disclose valuable confidential information, accept significant business obligations, terminate a contract, negotiate a commercial deal, or make a decision that could materially affect your rights or finances. If you are unsure, a paid attorney consultation can help you discuss your specific situation.
04When should I have an agreement reviewed?+
Ideally, before you sign it and while there is still an opportunity to negotiate or clarify important terms. Review may also be useful after signing if you need help understanding existing rights, obligations, deadlines, renewal terms, termination rights, or potential next steps.
05Can Klexco review a document I've already signed?+
Potentially, yes. Depending on the matter, an attorney may be able to help you understand the agreement's existing terms, obligations, deadlines, termination provisions, or other contractual issues. Submit the matter for review or schedule a consultation if individualized advice is needed.
Contract Review, Drafting & Negotiation
06What does a contract review attorney look for?+
Contract review can include identifying material legal and business risks, unfavorable provisions, unclear obligations, payment terms, termination rights, indemnity, liability allocation, insurance requirements, confidentiality, intellectual property provisions, dispute terms, deadlines, and other provisions relevant to the agreement. The exact issues depend on the document and accepted scope.
07Can Klexco review any type of contract?+
Klexco reviews a broad range of business and commercial agreements, subject to attorney availability, licensing, conflicts, scope, and acceptance. If your document is unusual or you are unsure, email hello@klexcolegal.com before purchasing.
08Can Klexco review a commercial lease?+
Potentially, yes. Commercial leases, amendments, renewals, estoppels, SNDAs, and related commercial real-estate documents may fall within Klexco's services depending on scope and jurisdiction. Complex or lengthy documents may require a quote.
09Can Klexco draft a contract from scratch?+
Yes, where the requested agreement falls within Klexco's accepted scope. Contract Drafting starts at $499. Complex transactions, multiple related documents, or specialized agreements may require a custom quote.
10Can Klexco revise or redline an agreement?+
Yes, where appropriate. Amendments and Redlines are priced at $499 under the current service structure. The exact scope may depend on the document and matter.
11Can Klexco help negotiate a contract?+
Negotiation support may be available depending on the matter and selected service. This can include evaluating counterparty revisions, preparing proposed changes, helping develop negotiation strategy, or other agreed support. Additional work outside the purchased scope may require a separate fee or quote.
12What if the other side says its contract is 'standard'?+
A document being described as standard does not necessarily mean every provision is appropriate for your particular transaction or risk tolerance. If the agreement creates meaningful obligations, attorney review can help identify terms you may want to understand or negotiate before signing.
13I downloaded a contract template online. Is that enough?+
Templates can be useful starting points, but they may not reflect your transaction, business model, applicable law, negotiating position, or specific risks. Klexco can review an existing template or draft a custom agreement where appropriate.
14I created my contract with AI. Can Klexco review it?+
Yes. AI-generated or AI-revised agreements can be submitted for attorney review. Technology can assist with drafting and organization, but attorney review adds professional judgment, context, issue spotting, and transaction-specific analysis.
15Does a real attorney review my contract?+
Yes. When you purchase an attorney-reviewed legal service, the legal work is reviewed by a licensed attorney. Technology may support efficiency and administration, but it does not replace the attorney's professional judgment.
16Does Klexco use AI?+
Klexco may use technology and AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency, organization, and service delivery. Legal work delivered as attorney-reviewed legal services remains subject to attorney review and professional responsibility.
Common Business Agreements
17What is a Master Services Agreement (MSA), and when might I need one?+
An MSA generally establishes the core legal terms for an ongoing business relationship so the parties do not have to renegotiate those terms for every project. Individual projects can then be documented through statements of work, orders, or similar documents. An MSA may be useful when you expect repeated projects or services with the same customer or vendor.
18What is a Professional Services Agreement?+
A Professional Services Agreement generally governs the provision of professional or specialized services and may address scope, fees, deliverables, ownership, confidentiality, liability, termination, and other terms. Whether an MSA, Professional Services Agreement, or another structure is better depends on the relationship and anticipated work.
19What's the difference between an MSA and a Statement of Work?+
An MSA usually contains the overarching legal terms governing the relationship. A Statement of Work, or SOW, generally describes a particular project, including services, deliverables, timing, and pricing. Businesses often use them together.
20When do I need an NDA?+
An NDA may be appropriate before sharing confidential business information with another person or company, especially during discussions involving proprietary processes, technology, customer information, pricing, financial information, business plans, trade secrets, or other valuable information. The right approach depends on what is being shared, with whom, and for what purpose.
21Do I need an NDA if another agreement already has confidentiality language?+
Maybe not. Existing confidentiality provisions may already address the disclosure, but their scope, duration, permitted uses, exclusions, and remedies should be reviewed. If valuable information will be disclosed and you are unsure whether existing language is sufficient, consider attorney review before disclosure.
22What's the difference between a mutual and one-way NDA?+
A one-way NDA generally protects confidential information disclosed by one party. A mutual NDA generally protects confidential information disclosed by both parties. Which structure is appropriate depends on whether one or both sides expect to disclose protected information.
23When should I use an Independent Contractor Agreement?+
An Independent Contractor Agreement may be appropriate when a business engages a non-employee to provide services. The agreement commonly addresses scope, payment, ownership of work product, confidentiality, termination, and other terms. The contract label alone does not determine worker classification, so classification questions may require individualized legal advice.
24Do I need a consulting agreement?+
A consulting agreement can help define the consultant's services, compensation, deliverables, confidentiality obligations, intellectual-property ownership, termination rights, and other expectations. It can be particularly useful when the consultant will access sensitive information or create work product for the business.
25Can Klexco review a vendor or supplier agreement?+
Potentially, yes. Vendor, supplier, purchasing, service, and other commercial agreements may fall within Klexco's contract-review services, subject to scope and acceptance.
26Can Klexco review SaaS or technology agreements?+
Potentially, yes. SaaS, software, licensing, data, technology, and related commercial agreements may be reviewed depending on scope, jurisdiction, and attorney availability. Complex privacy, security, regulatory, or multi-jurisdictional issues may require a custom quote or specialized counsel.
Employment, Separation & Career Agreements
27Should I have an employment agreement reviewed before I sign it?+
Attorney review may help you understand compensation terms, restrictive covenants, confidentiality, intellectual-property provisions, termination rights, dispute provisions, and other obligations before you agree to them. Individualized advice requires an accepted engagement.
28Can Klexco review a severance or separation agreement?+
Potentially, yes. Severance and separation agreements may involve compensation, releases, confidentiality, non-disparagement, restrictive covenants, benefits, return of property, and important deadlines. Consider obtaining advice before signing, particularly when the agreement includes a deadline or release of claims.
29Can severance terms be negotiated?+
Sometimes. Whether negotiation is appropriate depends on the circumstances, the agreement, leverage, applicable law, and the employer's position. Klexco may provide review or negotiation support where the matter is accepted.
30Can Klexco help with a noncompete or restrictive covenant?+
Potentially. Restrictive-covenant issues can be highly dependent on jurisdiction and specific facts. Klexco can determine whether the matter falls within its available services after intake; individualized conclusions should be discussed with an attorney.

Marriage Agreements & Personal Contracts
31What's the difference between a prenuptial and postnuptial agreement?+
A prenuptial agreement is generally entered into before marriage. A postnuptial agreement is generally entered into after marriage. 'Antenuptial agreement' is another term commonly used for a prenuptial agreement. These agreements involve state-specific family-law requirements, so whether Klexco can assist depends on jurisdiction, scope, and attorney availability.
32Can Klexco review or draft a prenuptial agreement?+
Possibly, depending on jurisdiction, scope, attorney availability, and whether the matter fits Klexco's accepted services. Email hello@klexcolegal.com with a brief, non-confidential description before purchasing a service.
33Can Klexco review or draft a postnuptial agreement?+
Possibly. Postnuptial agreements can involve specialized state-law requirements. Email hello@klexcolegal.com with a brief, non-confidential description so Klexco can determine whether the matter is within scope.
Trademarks, IP & Confidential Information
34Does Klexco file trademarks?+
Trademark filing assistance may be available depending on the requested scope, conflicts, attorney availability, and applicable requirements. Email hello@klexcolegal.com with a brief description of the mark, goods or services, and the assistance you are seeking. Do not assume a filing has been accepted until Klexco confirms the engagement.
35What's the difference between a trademark and an LLC or business name?+
Forming an entity or registering a business name does not necessarily provide the same rights as federal or state trademark protection. Trademark rights involve source identification and can raise separate clearance, filing, and use questions. Schedule a consultation if you need advice about your specific brand.
36How can I protect intellectual property when discussing a new business idea?+
Depending on the situation, protections may include appropriate confidentiality agreements, ownership provisions, access controls, and clear contractual terms regarding use and disclosure. Because the right strategy depends on the information and relationship, consider speaking with an attorney before disclosing valuable confidential or proprietary information.
37Who owns work created by a contractor?+
Ownership can depend on the agreement, the type of work, applicable intellectual-property law, and other facts. Businesses that expect to own contractor-created work should consider clear written ownership and assignment provisions. Specific ownership questions require attorney review.
Disputes, Breaches & Pre-Litigation Support
38What if the other party has breached my contract?+
A contract dispute can involve notice requirements, cure periods, termination rights, damages provisions, dispute procedures, and important deadlines. Klexco does not provide litigation representation, but may be able to assist with pre-litigation contract analysis, strategy, or document support depending on the matter.
39Does Klexco represent clients in court?+
No. Klexco does not offer litigation representation. If a matter requires court representation, Klexco may recommend that you consult litigation counsel.
40Can Klexco help me if I can't afford litigation?+
Depending on the matter, Klexco may be able to provide limited-scope pre-litigation coaching, contract analysis, organizational checklists, issue lists, timelines, or SOP-style preparation to help you understand and organize next steps. This is not a substitute for litigation representation, and availability depends on the matter and accepted scope.
41Can Klexco write a demand letter?+
Potentially, depending on the matter, jurisdiction, scope, and attorney availability. Demand-letter work is not automatically included in standard Contract Review and may require a custom quote.
42Should I wait until there is a dispute before having a contract reviewed?+
Contract review is often most useful before signing or while terms can still be negotiated. Clear agreements can help reduce ambiguity and identify risks before they become disputes. If a dispute already exists, an attorney may still be able to help you understand the contract and potential next steps.

A 20-minute Attorney Consultation is $49 under the current service structure. It is intended for individualized discussion and does not automatically include document review unless expressly included in the purchased scope.

Business Counsel Plans

58Do I have to pay for a consultation before signing up for a Business Counsel Plan?+
No. Prospective Business Counsel Plan clients may have a complimentary introductory conversation about the business's anticipated needs and available plan options. It is not a free legal consultation and is not intended to provide advice about a specific legal matter.
59What happens on the complimentary business-plan call?+
The conversation is designed to understand your business, anticipated legal needs, document volume, and whether a Klexco Business Counsel Plan may fit. Matter-specific legal advice should be addressed through an accepted engagement or paid consultation.
60Can Klexco serve as outside or fractional legal counsel for my business?+
Business Counsel Plans may provide recurring contract and business legal support, including appropriate outside- or fractional-counsel support depending on the selected plan, scope, attorney availability, licensing, conflicts, and acceptance.
61When does a business need ongoing legal support?+
Recurring legal support may be useful when a business regularly negotiates contracts, hires vendors or contractors, manages customer agreements, handles recurring compliance or commercial questions, or wants legal input available without engaging a new lawyer for every routine matter.
62Can I cancel a Business Counsel Plan anytime?+
The current Business Counsel Plans begin with a 12-month commitment and are billed monthly. After the initial term, plans continue month to month under the site's current terms. Review the applicable plan and engagement terms for cancellation details.
Process, Uploads & Confidentiality

If Klexco cannot accept a prepaid matter following its conflicts, licensing, scope, or availability review, the payment for that requested service is refunded in accordance with the current website terms.
