Draft Subscription Agreement
"I'm a small business negotiating a SaaS contract with a Fortune 100 Company, and they require use of their master contract as a base. Stacy did an amazing job with reviews and redlines to make it a more balanced agreement. I was impressed with her fluency on SaaS topics and making appropriate industry standard recommendations. She also caught several things that I did not notice in the contract that could have been harmful to my business long term."

"Flawless in the communication and execution. If you are startup looking for a knowledgeable and trusted advisor, look no more. Andrew went the extra mile on assisting us close in a record time our investment round with our accelerator although it required converting from LLC to Incorporation and clearing some past due we had with Delaware Sec. of State. I would 100% recommend him to any local (US) or foreign (out of US) founder."
