The cost of drafting high-quality legal drafting for start-ups can be substantial. When searching for a solution to this problem, I thought of Genie. They offer an excellent, user-friendly platform that allows us to draft, review, and create contracts with just the click of a button. The team is always available to address any issues that arise, and I don’t think I’ve ever talked about a product as much as Genie.
