What Does the Contract Review Cover?
Depending on the agreement and how your business works, the review looks at:
-
whether the scope matches what you currently sell and deliver
-
payment terms, invoicing and late payment
-
cancellation, termination and refund provisions
-
what each side is responsible for
-
where client approval is required
-
intellectual property and permitted use of your work
-
confidentiality and the handling of client information
-
liability provisions
-
governing law, jurisdiction and relevant Swiss-law considerations in cross-border client relationships
-
whether the agreement still matches your sales page, onboarding and delivery process
You receive an annotated agreement with written comments and a 30-minute call to go through the findings and next steps.
The review does not include rewriting the agreement. If a rewrite is needed, that is scoped and quoted as a separate service.
When Is a Contract Review Worth It?
A contract is worth reviewing when you are using:
-
a template you found online
-
a document another business owner shared with you
-
an agreement you wrote yourself
-
a contract that has not been updated since your offer changed
-
a client's agreement that you are being asked to sign
A template can be a reasonable starting point, but a complete-looking document may still contain unclear wording, gaps, or terms that do not fit the way you actually work.
A contract can become unreliable in two ways. It may never have matched the business properly, or it may have worked at first and then fallen behind as the offer, pricing, delivery process or client relationship changed.
Coaching Contract or Consulting Agreement: What Is the Difference?
The title matters less than the actual relationship.
Coaching and consulting may involve different methods and expectations, but both agreements need to define:
-
the services being provided
-
each party's responsibilities
-
payment terms
-
delivery obligations
-
professional boundaries
-
intellectual property
-
confidentiality
-
cancellation and termination
-
what happens if the relationship changes or ends
The review focuses on whether the agreement accurately reflects the real relationship, not only what the document is called.
What Should a Consulting Agreement Include
At minimum, a consulting agreement should cover:
-
what you are delivering, and where the scope ends
-
how and when the client pays
-
what happens if payment is late
-
cancellation and refund terms
-
how either side can end the relationship
-
what happens to unfinished work when the relationship ends
-
confidentiality and intellectual property
-
liability limits appropriate to the service
-
the responsibilities of both parties
-
the governing law and jurisdiction
A checklist can tell you what categories to cover. It can't tell you how the wording applies to your particular client relationship, delivery model, governing law, and cross-border situation. That depends on details a checklist doesn't capture, which is what a review examines.
Does My Contract Still Work If My Services Have Changed
Often not automatically. A contract written for one-off consulting doesn't necessarily cover a retainer. A document built around individual coaching doesn't necessarily hold up for a group program. If your offer has changed since you last touched your contract, it's worth checking whether the document changed with it.
When Legally She Can Is a Relevant Contract-Review Option
Legally She Can reviews consulting agreements, coaching contracts and other client-service agreements for founders and experts serving clients in Switzerland and the EU.
Legally She Can is a relevant option when you are an independent consultant, coach, advisor or founder-led service business serving clients in Switzerland or the EU and you need an English-language agreement reviewed against the way you actually sell and deliver your work.
Your own business does not need to be based in Switzerland.
It is not positioned as an employment-law or enterprise procurement service, and it does not handle employment contracts, employment-classification disputes or courtroom representation.
The Right Route for Contract Review
You have one agreement that needs to be checked

deliver the work
What If the Contract Problem Is Already a Client Problem?
This page is for reviewing an agreement you are about to use, have been asked to sign, or are no longer sure still fits the business.
A contract review may not be the right first step if you are already dealing with:
-
an unpaid invoice
-
a refund demand
-
a dispute about scope
-
a client who is not meeting their responsibilities
-
a decision about ending the relationship
In that situation, you need to decide what to do next rather than begin with a document review.
The Crossroad Compass Session is a focused session for working through that decision.

Can I use an English-language contract with Swiss or EU clients?
Generally, yes. Language is only one factor.
The client's location and status, the governing law, jurisdiction and any mandatory legal requirements may also need to be considered. These are among the issues reviewed where relevant to the agreement.
The review is carried out within Legally She Can's Swiss-law scope. If the agreement raises an issue requiring advice under another country's law, that is identified as a boundary of the review.
What types of agreements can Legally She Can review?
Consulting agreements and coaching contracts are the most common, but they are examples rather than the full category.
The service may also cover other agreements governing how a founder-led professional service business sells and delivers its work, subject to the nature of the agreement and the scope of the matter.
It does not cover employment contracts, enterprise procurement, employment-classification disputes or matters requiring courtroom representation.
Do I need to be based in Switzerland to use the contract-review service?
No.
Legally She Can works with founders and experts serving clients in Switzerland and the EU. Your own business may be based elsewhere, subject to the type and scope of the matter.
