Review Service Agreement

Anthony Whittington, Jd/Mba

"Anthony reviewed a specialized commercial agreement for our EV charging startup (equipment sale plus long-term operations structure). He delivered a detailed written assessment and provision-by-provision revision recommendations in about a day, well ahead of his quoted timeline. He caught a real drafting flaw we had missed, pushed back on our own tax assumptions instead of rubber-stamping them, and flagged where specialist confirmation was needed rather than overreaching. Clear scoping, fair flat-fee pricing, and responsive communication throughout. We'll use him again as our contracting grows."
