Core Contract Review ™

We offer clients the option of our Core Contract Review ™, which is a simplified, fixed-cost approach to the technology vendor review process. Our Core Contract Review ™ includes (i) a thorough redlined revision of your technology vendor contract with proposed changes and comments; (ii) an executive-friendly Core Contract Review ™ Dashboard for your internal use and as a checklist with your vendor; and (iii) a Core Contract Review ™ Regulatory Checklist, which analyzes how well the contract meets the requirements and expectations of your regulator. All within five business days. And all for one low fixed fee.

We aren’t your typical law firm.

Unlike traditional law firms, we do not maintain extravagant offices or a large staff, or otherwise incur high overhead expenses that get passed on to clients.

Instead, we leverage modern technologies and focus on managing costs while still providing high-quality legal advice.

We were so impressed with their professionalism and insight in the fintech industry, that we also engaged them to help negotiate & review our contracts with our new core provider and the conversion process.
