## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-30 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## If you want an actual lawyer to review it
> 
> **1. Rocket Lawyer** - Best default for most small businesses. ~$35/month membership includes unlimited document/contract reviews plus attorney phone consults, so if you sign contracts regularly the subscription beats per-review pricing almost immediately. Also the cheapest way to get a quick "is this normal?" read on a vendor agreement or NDA.
> 
> **2. LegalZoom's business contract review** - Best if you have *one* contract and don't want a subscription. Flat, upfront fee; a business attorney reviews up to ~10 pages and they claim experience across 50+ contract types. Predictable and low-commitment, but it's a review-and-report, not a negotiation partner.
> 
> **3. LegalShield Small Business Essentials** - ~$49/month. Similar idea to Rocket Lawyer but oriented around unlimited *consultations* with a business attorney rather than document generation. Worth it if your real need is "someone I can call," not templates. Note the document review has page/quantity caps.
> 
> **4. UpCounsel** - Best when the contract actually matters (big financial exposure, specialized terms, you need redlines and someone to negotiate). You post the job and get proposal
