FAQs

How long does the process take?

Most engagements are completed within two to four weeks from kickoff, depending on complexity and your responsiveness. We'll give you a clear timeline estimate at the start of your project.

Can I use the associate agreement template for multiple hires?

Yes. The associate employment agreement is designed for repeat use. Once drafted, you own it and can customize it for each new hire without returning to us for a new document or paying additional drafting fees.
