What a flat fee usually includes

A flat fee covers one defined deliverable agreed before work starts, such as a contract reviewed and redlined, and extra scope is quoted separately. Read what each tier includes, because the same label can mean different amounts of work.

General Legal's $500 standard review includes one round of internal revisions after your feedback and a negotiation guide (source). Compound Law's fixed prices include a named lawyer, defined revisions and an agreed timeline (source), and its Enterprise contract tier adds €400 an hour for live calls (source). Kyra Law's prices exclude VAT (source).

Fixed-fee firms that quote each matter

Carta Law, Crosby, Clayfield and Sprintlaw say they work on fixed fees but quote each matter instead of publishing a full price list. Ask for the quote in writing before work starts.
