Review Contractor Agreement
"I reached out to Rebecca on a Friday for a quick-turn contract review with a multi-billion-dollar company, and she absolutely delivered. She was agile, knowledgeable, and a clear communicator throughout. By Sunday night—based solely on our phone call—she had reviewed the contract, incorporated thoughtful edits, and returned a final version that was accepted in full. Every single one of her suggested changes made it through. She charged a fair price and completed the work in incredibly low hours, which speaks to both her efficiency and deep expertise. Her responsiveness and precision gave me total confidence in a high-stakes moment."
