## What is flat-fee contract review for New York businesses?

Hollingsworth & Hollingsworth offers flat-fee contract review and drafting for New York businesses, from Manhattan startups and agencies to Brooklyn makers and Long Island suppliers. Pricing is fixed up front: $399 to review a contract, $699 for a new contract, and $999 for a complex contract. Every engagement is handled remotely by a California-licensed attorney, with scope confirmed in writing before work begins.

New York runs on paper. Lenders, landlords, investors, publishers, brands and agencies all expect a signed agreement before anything moves, and the party across the table usually has counsel of its own. For a founder or a small firm in the city, that means a steady stream of vendor terms, client agreements, and side letters that deserve a careful read but rarely justify an open-ended bill from a large firm that charges by the tenth of an hour.

Flat fees fit the way New York businesses already budget. You know the price before you send the document, and the attorney confirms the tier and scope in writing so nothing drifts. Turnaround is measured in hours, often the same business day, which matters when a term sheet or a lease rider is sitting in an inbox with a deadline attached. Because the work happens by email, phone, and video, you never lose an afternoon crossing town for a meeting.

Who we help

## Who we help in New York

### Finance and fintech

Boutique investment advisers, payment startups, and lending platforms clustered around Midtown and the Financial District sign a constant flow of vendor, data licensing, and referral agreements. They typically need software subscription terms reviewed, consulting agreements drafted for outside analysts, and nondisclosure agreements that protect models, pricing logic, and customer data during partnership talks.

### Media, publishing, and agencies

Independent publishers, podcast studios, newsletters, and creative or marketing agencies depend on freelancers and licensed content. Common needs include contributor and freelance writer agreements, content licensing and syndication terms, sponsorship insertion orders, agency client agreements, and work-for-hire language that makes clear who owns the finished piece and where it can run.

### Startups and tech

Early-stage companies in the city, many working out of shared offices in Flatiron, DUMBO, or Long Island City, need founder agreements, advisor agreements, contractor terms with equity components, and customer master services agreements. Operating or shareholder agreements among cofounders and early investors usually belong in the complex contract tier because several owners and custom terms are involved.

### Fashion and design

Garment District designers, emerging labels, showrooms, and stylists deal with factories, photographers, models, and retail partners every season. They often need manufacturing and supply agreements, wholesale terms for boutiques and department stores, collaboration agreements with other brands, licensing deals for a logo or print, and releases for shoots and runway presentations.

### Real estate and hospitality

Restaurant groups, boutique hotels, event venues, and small property owners across the five boroughs juggle leases, management agreements, and vendor contracts at once. Typical requests include review of a commercial lease or amendment, catering and event agreements, property management agreements, and supplier terms for linens, beverage programs, and kitchen equipment.

What we handle

## Common contracts we review and draft for New York companies

- **Master services agreement.** Agencies and consultancies in New York use an MSA with separate statements of work to lock in rates, deliverables, and ownership across a long client relationship.
- **Nondisclosure agreement.** Fintech founders and investment teams exchange NDAs before sharing models, pitch decks, or customer data, so the definition of confidential information needs to be precise.
- **Commercial lease or lease rider.** Shops, studios, and restaurants in the city often receive a landlord's standard lease plus a rider; a review flags personal liability, rent escalation, and repair language before you sign.
- **Independent contractor agreement.** Media outlets and startups rely on freelancers, and a clear contractor agreement sets payment terms, deadlines, confidentiality, and who owns the work product once it is delivered.
- **Content licensing agreement.** Publishers, photographers, and brands license articles, images, and video to one another, and the agreement should spell out territory, term, exclusivity, and permitted uses.
- **Wholesale agreement.** Fashion labels selling to boutiques and department stores need wholesale terms covering minimum orders, delivery windows, returns, markdown allowances, and chargebacks.
- **Operating or shareholder agreement.** Cofounders splitting ownership of a new company need clear terms on capital, voting, vesting, and exits, work that usually falls in the $999 complex tier once the attorney confirms it.

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.

The office is in San Diego and your business is in New York, but the working day overlaps more than most people expect. Office hours of 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM Pacific run from 8:00 AM to midnight Eastern, so a contract sent before your morning coffee can be under review by the time the markets open. Documents come in by upload or email, questions get answered by phone or video, and signatures happen by e-signature. You never need to meet in person.

Governing law

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

Legal services are provided by a California-licensed attorney. We are available to businesses nationwide. Many New York agreements are governed by New York 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.

Counterparties in New York frequently write their own state's law into the agreement and name a court in Manhattan or another New York county as the venue, and financial and media contracts sometimes add arbitration. We flag every choice-of-law, venue, and dispute-resolution clause in the redline so you can see what you are agreeing to. When an agreement is governed by New York law or another non-California law, we confirm up front whether we can assist or need to associate local counsel.

Common questions

## Flat-fee contracts for New York businesses: FAQs

### Do you need to meet in person in New York?

No. Everything happens remotely. You upload or email the contract, we talk by phone or video if a conversation helps, and final documents are signed by e-signature. Whether your office is in Manhattan, the Bronx, or Staten Island, the process is identical, and no one has to spend an afternoon on the subway to get a contract reviewed or drafted.

### Can you review a contract governed by New York law?

Legal services are provided by a California-licensed attorney. Many New York agreements are governed by New York law, so tell us the governing law when you send your contract. For any law other than California's, we confirm we can assist or associate local counsel before any work begins, so there are no surprises about who is handling your document or how.

### How fast is turnaround for a New York business?

Turnaround is measured in hours, and we aim for the same business day where possible. Because our hours reach midnight Eastern, a contract sent late in the afternoon in New York can still be reviewed that evening. Complex agreements with multiple documents or parties take longer, and the expected timing is confirmed in writing along with the scope.

### My fintech startup needs a shareholder agreement. Is that $699 or $999?

Shareholder, operating, and partnership agreements generally fall into the $999 complex contract tier because they involve several owners, custom terms, and often investor input. The attorney reviews what you need, sets the tier, and confirms it in writing before any work begins. The complex tier includes two rounds of revisions, which helps when cofounders want to weigh in.

### What should a New York agency send with a client contract for review?

Send the agreement itself, any statement of work or exhibits it references, and a few lines on what worries you, such as payment timing, ownership of creative work, or termination rights. Mention the governing law and whether the client has set a signing deadline. With that context, the plain-English summary and tracked-changes redline focus on the terms that matter most to your agency.
