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.

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.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Client experiences from founders and experts who worked with Legally She Can on client contracts
After founding my coaching and consulting company, Yuolvee LLC, I reached out to Vena (Legally She Can) to set up all my legal website policies and client contracts. Her service was outstanding. Not only do I have all the necessary paperwork in order now, but she also went above and beyond with her support throughout the process. The calls were always efficient, her emails and implementation guides were crystal clear, and she patiently explained any crucial legal terms or implications. Additionally, she provides essential updates on legal changes moving forward. I highly recommend her; it's a pleasure to work with someone who truly understands her clients, dives into their business challenges, and provides custom-tailored solutions. I will certainly continue to work with her in the future.

I needed help with the legalities around my website and contract. Vena came at the right time. I had thought about it and wasn't sure who could cover all my concerns since I am working internationally.
After working with her, it felt great that my website and contracts are all done and I did not have to overthink them. That was huge value.
My favorite part is that it was a done-for-you service. That is makes it so much easier to just have Vena handle all these details.

I contacted Vena because I needed a legally tight contract for my business. I knew of her through other people and she came highly recommended. At that time, I have been looking to get a legally valid contract set up for some time.
After working with Vena, I achieved exactly what I had been looking for and more. Even after our contracted engagement, she would still give advice and offer help. I really appreciate that!
My favorite part of the program is that it is a done-for-you service. It is worth every single Rappen. Best investment.

I needed a legally binding booking terms and conditions for retreat participants. Luckily, I found Vena through Google, and word of mouth. I loved her personalised offering and affordable rates. I am really happy with her services and would 100% recommend you to others. She made me feel relaxed and explained everything well.
I also have access to her courses which are awesome addition and something I can lean on in the future as I use and adjust my contracts going forward.
Vena's services are fully personalised and she ensures they meet your needs to the fullest extent. She explains everything you need in depth and goes above and beyond. She's approachable and easy to work with, and I would definitely recommend her services.
