Ask as often as it comes up
Unlimited consultations of up to 30 minutes on routine matters, answered in writing. However many questions you send in a billing period, the fee stays the same.
OCTIS • Business Lawyer Plan
Ask the small legal questions before they become big ones
One flat fee covers written consultations and contract reviews, answered in writing within 3 to 5 working days by a licensed lawyer from our panel.
- Unlimited consultations of up to 30 minutes, in writing, on routine matters
- Contract reviews up to 10 pages each, plus an annual legal check
- Legal advice comes from licensed lawyers on our panel. OCTIS is not a law firm
Why OCTIS
Contracts reviewed before you sign
Send a contract of up to 10 pages, signature pages and schedules included. A licensed lawyer on our panel reviews it in writing, so you sign knowing what it says.
One workspace, nothing re-explained
Each consult, document and outcome is logged in one place, so a new question does not start with explaining your business from scratch.
A yearly legal check
After six months as a member, you unlock a 1-hour annual business legal check, and it stays available every year after.
Sign in the same place
Sign and send documents securely with an e-signature, without printing a page. The signed copy is filed for you.
A plan that fits everyone
Teams with questions every week
Offer letters, NDAs, service agreements and tenancies. The everyday paperwork gets read by a lawyer without a new engagement each time.
Owners who skip a question because asking costs money
On a flat fee, asking is already paid for. The question that felt too small to ask gets asked before it turns into a problem.
Companies that need drafts and demand letters
The higher levels add contract amendments, contract drafts and letter-of-demand drafts, with more capacity as the company grows.

WHAT IS AND IS NOT COVERED
What the plan covers, and where it stops
1Answers come in writing
Consultations are written, on routine matters, and answered in 3 to 5 working days. There are no calls, voice notes or video, and this is a plan, not an emergency line.
2Review, draft and revision are different
A review reads a document. A draft writes one. Change the terms and it becomes a new draft. Documents are capped at 10 pages, and longer ones are handled at an agreed member rate before any work begins.
3Letters of demand are drafted, not sent
On the levels that include them, a letter of demand is drafted and revised. It is not sent, negotiated or followed up under the plan. Recovery is a service of its own.
4Heavier matters are their own services
Not included: investment and financing documents, mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions, franchising and licensing, equity structuring, restructuring, IP enforcement, tax, labour relations and litigation. Shareholder agreements are quoted separately.
5Unused entitlements do not carry forward
Reviews, drafts and consultations reset with each billing period. Billing is quarterly or annually.
FAQ
Is OCTIS a law firm, and who gives the legal advice?
No. OCTIS is not a law firm. The advice, the reviews and the drafting come from licensed lawyers on our panel, who are partner firms and not OCTIS staff. OCTIS runs the intake, the matching and the record-keeping around them.
How quickly do I get an answer?
In writing, within 3 to 5 working days on a routine matter. The plan is written only: there are no calls, voice notes or video. It is a plan, not an emergency line.
What counts as a routine matter?
The everyday paperwork: offer letters, NDAs, service agreements and tenancies. Heavily negotiated matters such as shareholder agreements, financing, franchising and M&A are not routine, and they are their own services.
What is the difference between the levels of the plan?
All three levels give unlimited written questions and the annual check. Essential adds up to 4 contract reviews a year, with no amendments and no drafts. Startup adds 4 reviews with amendments, 4 contract drafts and 4 letter-of-demand drafts. Growth adds 12 reviews with amendments, 6 contract drafts and 6 letter-of-demand drafts.
Do unused reviews and consultations roll over?
No. Reviews, drafts and consultations reset with each billing period. Billing is quarterly or annually.
What if my document is longer than 10 pages?
Reviews cover up to 10 pages per document, signature pages and schedules included. A longer document is handled at a clear, agreed member rate before any work begins.
Will you send a letter of demand for me?
Under the plan, a letter of demand is drafted and revised, on the levels that include drafts. It is not sent, negotiated or followed up. Debt recovery is a separate service.
Does AI give me the legal advice?
No. AI helps sort requests and draft first versions to save time, but a qualified lawyer reviews and advises on every matter.
