What we review
Service agreements govern how work gets delivered, paid for, and owned. Our lawyers check the clauses that most often cause disputes between service providers and clients.
Payment-term protections, liability caps, and IP assignment default rules vary by jurisdiction. We review each clause against the governing law of your service agreement, whether it’s a domestic engagement or a cross-border one.
Vague scope is the most litigated clause in service agreements — what’s excluded matters as much as what’s included.
What exactly gets handed over, and what counts as accepted and payable.
Payment schedule, milestones, and what happens when an invoice is disputed.
Caps and exclusions that decide your maximum exposure if something goes wrong.
Who owns the work product, and whether the provider keeps rights to pre-existing tools or frameworks.
Interest, work-pause rights, and remedies when payment is late.
What information must be protected, and for how long after the engagement ends.
Who bears the cost of third-party claims arising from the services.
What each party guarantees about the services or their ability to deliver them.
Notice periods, project timelines, and what happens if the engagement ends early.

What clients say
5.0★ average from 5 verified reviews“We were under pressure to sign a customer agreement with a UK client within 48 hours. ContractDesk reviewed the contract the same day, flagged a few risky clauses around liability and payment terms, and suggested practical revisions that the client accepted without much negotiation. The process was smooth and the advice was genuinely commercial, not just legal.”
“As our startup started closing enterprise customers, our contracts became far more complex. ContractDesk has become our go to legal partner for reviewing MSAs, NDAs, and SaaS agreements. Their comments are easy to understand, turnaround is consistently fast, and the quality has been excellent”
“The trademark registration process was much smoother than I expected. The team first checked whether my brand name was available, explained the risks in plain English, and handled the filing end to end. They kept me updated throughout the process and were always available to answer questions. Great experience overall.”

What happens after your review
A subscription plan doesn’t just include the review — it stores it. Every contract lands in a searchable repository, with renewal alerts set automatically and approval workflows for your team, so the same contract doesn’t need a fresh review a year from now just to remember what it says.
