## What is flat-fee contract review for Houston businesses?

Hollingsworth & Hollingsworth offers flat-fee contract review and drafting for Houston businesses, especially oilfield service companies, contractors and engineering firms, port and logistics operators, and medical practices. A review is $399, a new contract is $699, and a complex contract is $999. Each matter is handled remotely by a California-licensed attorney.

Houston's economy is built around energy and the work that surrounds it. Operators rely on a deep bench of oilfield service companies, fabricators, and engineering firms, while the Ship Channel and the port keep petrochemicals, equipment, and consumer goods moving. The Texas Medical Center anchors a large healthcare sector of its own. Across all of these, small and midsize companies sign agreements drafted by much larger counterparties, often with heavy indemnity and insurance requirements tucked into the fine print.

When a master service agreement from an operator or a general contractor lands on your desk, the job usually starts soon after. A flat fee and a turnaround measured in hours, same business day where possible, let a Houston company understand the risk before mobilizing crews or committing equipment. The attorney confirms the tier and scope in writing first, so there is no open-ended bill. Everything is handled by email, phone, video, and e-signature, including for teams working out in the field.

Who we help

## Who we help in Houston

### Energy and oilfield services

Well service contractors, equipment rental firms, inspection companies, and midstream vendors across the Houston area work under agreements written by operators. They most often need master service agreements reviewed for indemnity, insurance, and payment terms, along with equipment rental contracts, subcontracts for specialty crews, and confidentiality agreements covering technical data.

### Construction and engineering

General contractors, specialty trades, and engineering consultancies serve petrochemical plants, commercial buildings, and a steady residential market. Typical needs include subcontract review, professional services agreements for engineers, change order language, payment provisions, and joint venture or teaming agreements among firms that bid together, which often fall into the complex tier.

### Port and logistics trade

Freight forwarders, customs service firms, drayage carriers, and warehouse operators around the Port of Houston and the Ship Channel handle shipments for importers and exporters. They need transportation and warehousing agreements, forwarding terms, sales agreements for bulk goods, and limitation of liability clauses tailored to containers, breakbulk, and project cargo.

### Healthcare and medical

Physician groups, imaging centers, home health agencies, and medical device suppliers orbit the Texas Medical Center and serve the wider region. They often need independent contractor agreements for clinicians, medical office leases, equipment purchase or lease agreements, billing and software vendor contracts, and business associate agreements with service providers.

### Industrial fabrication and supply

Machine shops, valve and pipe suppliers, and fabrication yards on the east side and along the Beltway build the hardware that plants and rigs run on. They need supply agreements, purchase order terms, fabrication contracts with clear specifications and inspection rights, and warranty language that defines what happens when a part fails in service.

What we handle

## Common contracts we review and draft for Houston companies

- **Master service agreement.** Oilfield service companies sign operator MSAs that stay in place for years, so indemnity, insurance, and payment terms deserve careful review before the first field ticket.
- **Subcontract agreement.** Houston trades working under a general contractor need a subcontract review focused on scope, flow-down clauses, retainage, change orders, and when payment actually arrives.
- **Equipment rental agreement.** Companies renting pumps, generators, cranes, and tools for field or plant work rely on rental terms that address damage, standby charges, and return condition.
- **Transportation and warehousing agreement.** Port-area carriers and warehouse operators set rates, storage terms, claims procedures, and liability limits in agreements with importers, exporters, and forwarders.
- **Teaming agreement.** Engineering and construction firms pairing up to pursue a plant project use teaming agreements covering work share, exclusivity, and responsibilities if the bid succeeds.
- **Medical office lease.** Clinics near the Medical Center and in suburban medical buildings should review build-out obligations, permitted uses, and relocation clauses before committing to a space.
- **Confidentiality agreement.** Energy technology firms and service providers sharing seismic data, process designs, or pricing with a prospective partner need clear limits on how that information is used.

How it works

## How it works remotely

### Upload or email your contract

Pay your flat fee, then email [info@2hlaw.com](mailto:info@2hlaw.com) with the agreement, or the details of the contract you need drafted.

### Scope confirmed in writing

We confirm the scope, the tier, and the governing law in writing before any work begins. Outside flat-fee scope? We tell you first and refund your payment.

### Attorney work product

A redline and plain-English summary for a review, or a ready-to-sign draft for a new contract, prepared by the attorney, not a template tool.

### Same business day where possible

Turnaround is measured in hours, not weeks. We confirm timing when we confirm scope.

Houston sits in Central time, two hours ahead of San Diego. Our office hours of 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM Pacific cover 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM in Houston, seven days a week, which fits an industry where crews start early and bids come due late. You send documents by upload or email, and we talk by phone or video, even if you are calling from a yard or a job site. Signing is done by e-signature, with no in-person meeting needed.

Flat fee covers one contract per engagement. The attorney sets the new-contract tier ($699 or $999) based on the complexity of your agreement and confirms it in writing before any work begins.

Pay above, then email [info@2hlaw.com](mailto:info@2hlaw.com). Not sure which new-contract tier fits? Pay $699 to start. If the attorney determines your agreement is complex, we confirm the $999 tier with you before any work begins.

Governing law

## Who handles your Houston contract, and under which state's law?

Legal services are provided by a California-licensed attorney. We are available to businesses nationwide. Many Houston agreements are governed by Texas law; tell us the governing law when you send your contract, and we will confirm we can assist or associate local counsel before any work begins.

Energy and construction agreements in Houston are very often governed by Texas law with venue in Harris County, and operator MSAs may add their own dispute-resolution steps. Maritime and cargo contracts sometimes point to other bodies of law entirely. We flag choice-of-law, venue, and dispute-resolution clauses in the redline. Because the attorney is licensed in California, for Texas law or any other non-California law we confirm up front whether we can assist or associate local counsel.

Common questions

## Flat-fee contracts for Houston businesses: FAQs

### Do you need to meet in person in Houston?

No. All of the work is done remotely. You upload or email the contract, we discuss it by phone or video, and documents are signed electronically. That keeps things simple for companies whose people are spread between an office off the Beltway, a fabrication yard, and a job site several hours away, since nobody has to come in for a meeting.

### Can you review a contract governed by Texas law?

Legal services are provided by a California-licensed attorney. Many Houston agreements are governed by Texas law, so tell us the governing law when you send your contract. For Texas law or the law of any state other than California, we confirm we can assist or associate local counsel before any work begins, and that confirmation comes in writing along with the scope.

### How fast is turnaround for a Houston business?

Turnaround is measured in hours, same business day where possible. With our hours reaching 11:00 PM Central, an MSA or subcontract that arrives in the late afternoon can still be reviewed that evening, ahead of a morning mobilization. Longer agreements with several exhibits take more time, and the expected timing is confirmed in writing with the scope.

### An operator sent our oilfield service company an MSA. Is that a $399 review?

In most cases, yes. Reviewing an agreement someone else drafted is the $399 contract review, and you receive a plain-English summary, a tracked-changes redline, and a short call. The review pays particular attention to indemnity, insurance, and payment terms. We do not negotiate with the operator for you, but the redline gives your team clear language to propose.

### Can you draft a teaming agreement for a Houston engineering bid?

Yes, teaming agreements are a common drafting request. A simple agreement between two firms may fit the $699 new contract tier, while one involving several firms, joint venture terms, or linked subcontracts will usually fall into the $999 complex tier with two rounds of revisions. The attorney sets the tier and confirms it in writing before any work begins.
