OPTIONS.
Get Exactly What You Need
Not every legal need requires a full package. If you only need a specific document, template, review, or legal service, TradeWise Legal offers à la carte options at straightforward, flat-fee pricing.
Browse individual options for business documents, employment and HR, customer agreements, collections, trademark protection, website compliance, marketing, consultations, and more.
Not Sure Where to Start?
If you're not sure which package is the best fit for your business, tell us a bit about your situation, and we'll point you in the right direction. There's no pressure to commit to a full package up front, and no obligation tied to asking what we recommend.
A quick conversation is often enough to let you know whether you need a single document, a full package, or just ongoing support for questions that come up along the way.

QUESTIONS ABOUT PRICING
01
Our Collections Suite Package is built specifically to get you paid. It’s an all-in-one collections package. If you're dealing with payment delinquency right now, this is the fastest path to recovering what you're owed.
02
Business Essentials Package is the right starting point in this situation. It replaces verbal agreements and outdated templates with proper legal documents for your plumbing business. If you've never had a lawyer review your paperwork, this Business Essentials package has you covered.
03
Brand Protection Package. It covers the full trademark filing process along with all the marketing and website documents you need to promote your business while reducing legal risk. Our brand protection package makes sense once your brand’s name has real value to defend, or if a competitor's name is getting uncomfortably close to yours.
04
The Legacy & Succession Package covers both the business side (ownership transfer, buy-sell agreements, continuity planning) and the personal side (will, power of attorney, healthcare directives) of your business.
05
Yes. The à la carte legal documents menu lets you purchase exactly what you need, priced individually, with no obligation to commit to a full package. It's a great option if you're missing just one piece, such as an invoice template or a lien notice, rather than overhauling everything all at once.
06
The Collections Suite Package includes a four-level demand letter sequence (from a friendly reminder to a final notice before legal action), a Payment Plan Agreement template, a complete mechanics lien package with Texas-specific filing deadlines, lien release and waiver forms, and small claims support including a filing guide and evidence checklist. The included collections process flowchart shows you exactly which document to use at each stage.
07
The Business Essentials package includes an LLC Operating Agreement, corporate minutes, and compliance checklists, as well as an Employee Handbook and an Independent Contractor Agreement for your team. On the customer-facing side, it includes estimate and proposal templates, service agreements, invoices with payment terms, change order forms, and warranty documents. A 30-minute consultation call is included.
08
The Brand Protection package includes:
• Full federal trademark filing service (search, attorney filing, USPTO monitoring, and a 12-month trademark watch)
• Website terms of use and privacy policy templates
• A guide to responding to negative reviews
• Photo and video release forms
• An advertising compliance checklist for promotions and giveaways

09
Yes. Our Monthly Support Subscription gives you ongoing access to attorney guidance for one flat monthly fee of $395, rather than paying per question or per document. This monthly legal support option also includes a 10% discount on document review and other substantive work.
10
A quick question is anything that can be answered in ten minutes or less. Examples include questions like “Should I be concerned about this?”, clarification on a legal requirement, advice on next steps, or review of a short email or message. It's meant for the everyday questions that come up running a plumbing business, not full document drafting or extensive research.
11
Yes. You're not locked into one package. Many owners start with à la carte legal documents or a single package to address their most urgent problem, then add more later as new needs arise.
12
It depends on where your business is right now and what's causing the most friction. If you're losing money to unpaid invoices, begin with the collections package. If your paperwork has never been legally reviewed, start with Business Essentials. If you're building a name worth protecting, look at Brand Protection.
