Not sure if your business is ready for a custom Client Services Agreement?

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been in one of these situations:

  •    You are spending too much time preparing and reviewing client contracts instead of getting to the paying work.
  • ​ You signed a client’s version of a contract without reading it because you had no idea what any of it meant . . . only to realize later that it was full of unfair terms.
  •    You got trapped doing free extra services because the client kept changing the scope and your contract didn’t have the right limitations.
  •    You got stuck with unrealistic deadlines because a client wasn’t giving you the information you needed . . . but your contract didn’t give you a way to adjust.
  •    You had to chase a client for money for weeks or even months because your payment terms weren’t crystal clear.
  • ​  You worked without a contract for a client you “trusted” . . . who then turned into a nightmare, stealing endless amounts of your time, energy and assets.
  • ​  Or, worst of all, you assigned all of your work to the client in an agreement that did not protect your IP rights, and now you cannot legally use your own tools again.​

There IS a Solution!


Luckily, there’s a way to prevent many of these issues and set the stage for happier, smoother client relationships . . .

Having a Client Services Agreement template that has been custom-crafted for your business:
  • Sets clear expectations for your client about exactly what services you will provide, when, and at what cost
  • ​Presents a professional image to your clients and helps you have more productive client relationships
  • ​Eliminates worry over what a client's contract means, and eliminates the risk of hidden traps
  • ​​Protects your intellectual property so you can build on it for future projects
  • ​Prevents endless unpaid scope changes by the client
  • ​Contains clear, enforceable payment terms
  • ​Limits your financial liability in case something goes wrong
  • ​A template that you can use over and over again for all of your client projects

Helping other small businesses succeed is truly a passion of mine.  

I am determined to help level the playing field.  

As a solo or small business, especially for women and other members of the BIPOC community, the unfortunate truth is we just have to be better to compete.  

Normally, we only accept clients who engage us to create a suite of custom agreements (such as our Basic Start-Up Package or Complete Entrepreneur Package) or provide retainer-based ongoing legal support, so that we can have the maximum ability to make a lasting beneficial impact for our clients.  

However, I truly believe that  if a solo or small business owner only has the budget for one legal document, having a custom-crafted Client Services Agreement template will make a direct and immediate positive impact on their business.

So, for the next 10 days (until the timer at the top of the page runs out), we are accepting a limited number of new clients who just need a custom-crafted Client Services Agreement.

When you purchase your Custom Client Services Agreement:

1.  You will be immediately taken to my Client Meeting calendar where you can book our initial 30 minute meeting.  During that meeting we will discuss your business and the type of client services agreement template that best fits your needs. 

2.  Once I have all of the necessary information, I will then draft your custom template and provide it to you within two weeks.  

3.  After you have reviewed your new custom services agreement  to review it, I will provide one round of revisions if you would like any changes.

4.  Finally, after delivery of the final version of your custom Client Services Agreement template, we will schedule a second 30 minute meeting to go over best practices for using your custom agreement for all of your new client projects.  We can cover topics such as property techniques for drafting project descriptions, pricing alternatives for your services and what to do if a client asks for changes.  The goal is for you to be able to immediately be able to use your new template for any upcoming client projects.

You will be under zero obligation to continue to use our legal services.  However, if you wish to continue to work with us on other projects, you will receive a 20% discount off of our standard hourly rate for twelve months.

The investment is one payment of $2,500.00, payable in advance due to the limited number of spaces available.

Legal protection is not just for big corporations
I’m Sharon L. Tasman, and I’ve been a business, technology and intellectual property attorney for more than 30 years.

I spent fifteen of those years at one of the world’s largest law firms representing some of the world’s largest companies . . . and I’ve worked on more than $6 billion in deals for clients ranging from startups to Fortune 25 corporations. I’ve taught and published on numerous legal topics.  And before becoming an attorney, I worked as a computer programmer which gave me added insight into the real-world implications of technology-related legal issues.
And throughout my many years in the legal world, I’ve seen firsthand the kind of problems that can arise when business owners neglect the legal details.

Often, business owners are so excited to get going that they get to work immediately . . . and they end up in a lot of painful situations that could’ve been easily avoided if they’d created the legal framework their business needs.

If you don’t start with a solid legal foundation, you’re only making your life a lot harder than it needs to be!

Setting things up properly from the beginning protects against unnecessary risk — and it’s often the most efficient and cost-effective choice.

Still, I understand that entrepreneurs, freelancers, and other solo business owners have a lot on their plates . . . and that budgets are often a big concern. After all, I’m an entrepreneur and small business owner myself!

But I believe businesses of all sizes should be able to protect themselves — not just big corporations that can afford to hire a team of lawyers. 
What some of our clients have to say...
“As a small business owner, I am not at the point where I can afford a legal department or a high priced law firm but still need to protect my business. I needed Sharon's services to respond to a contractual issue. 
Her support in drafting a response and signature agreement was just what I needed to protect my business and minimize future risk. 
Sharon's legal services and business advice has provided me with peace of mind. Her program and services are just the right fit for my growing company.”

CEO and Executive Coach

“When I wanted to set up my business two years ago, it was incredibly important for me to start it correctly from every side, including the legal perspective.

I found Sharon to help me with it, and that was definitely the right choice. I started my LLC. After working with Sharon for two years on a number of different legal matters for my business, I totally trust her as my attorney.

Everything is always fast, completely professional, and she gives plenty of great recommendations.
Thank you Sharon!”
