Services

Five practice areas, bought as a one-off assessment, a remediation project, or an ongoing retainer.

Overview

Buy the assessment first. Everything else follows from what it finds.

Nine out of ten clients start with a single fixed-fee assessment in one area. It produces a written report you can act on with or without us — and it is deliberately priced so that walking away afterwards is a reasonable decision.

Contract lifecycle review

Your contracts are the only record of what you actually promised. We make that record accurate, consistent and retrievable.

Inventory of every executed agreement, with owner, value, term and renewal date
Template rationalisation — one MSA, one NDA, one order form, not eleven variants
Clause library and negotiation playbook written for non-lawyers
Renewal and notice-period calendar handed to a named internal owner
Redline summaries of non-standard terms already sitting in your portfolio

Typical outcome: a single contract register, three maintained templates, and a renewal calendar that stops auto-renewals nobody intended.

Regulatory compliance assessments

We assess against the frameworks that genuinely apply to your business — and tell you which ones do not, which saves more money than the ones that do.

Applicability analysis: SOC 2, HIPAA administrative safeguards, PCI DSS scope, state filings
Control-by-control gap assessment with evidence expectations spelled out
Prioritised remediation roadmap costed in effort, not vague 'high/medium/low'
Policy and procedure drafting support, aligned to the controls you claim
Audit-response support: answering assessor questions without over-committing

Typical outcome: a defensible control set, an evidence folder your auditor accepts, and no surprises in week one of fieldwork.

Data privacy programs

Privacy work fails when it lives in a policy document nobody operationalised. We build the workflow, then write the policy to match it.

Data inventory and processing map across systems, vendors and jurisdictions
Retention schedule with defensible periods and an actual deletion mechanism
DSAR intake, verification and response workflow with target turnarounds
Data processing terms and sub-processor review for your vendor stack
Breach-response runbook with named roles and notification timelines

Typical outcome: you can answer 'where is our customer data and who touches it' in one meeting, with evidence.

Employment policy audits

Handbooks drift. New Jersey wage, leave and classification rules do not wait for your next revision cycle.

Handbook review against current NJ and federal requirements, section by section
Worker classification review — employee vs contractor, exempt vs non-exempt
Leave, overtime, meal-break and paid-sick-leave policy alignment
Manager guidance notes and short-form training material
Escalation and documentation standards for HR investigations

Typical outcome: a corrected handbook draft ready for your employment counsel's sign-off, plus a manager cheat-sheet.

Risk & vendor diligence

You are accountable for vendors you have never met. We make that relationship visible and reviewable.

Third-party register scored by data access, criticality and replaceability
Security questionnaire triage — answering inbound, issuing outbound
Insurance certificate, indemnity and limitation-of-liability review
Offboarding checklist so terminated vendors actually lose access
Annual re-review cadence with a named owner per vendor

Typical outcome: a live vendor register with owners and review dates, not a spreadsheet last touched at onboarding.
