"Anna drafted two client services agreements and an engagement letter for my PPC consulting business. The work required multiple rounds of revisions covering scope boundaries, IP protections, AI data processing consent, payment enforcement, and some nuanced provisions around methodology protection and meeting recordings. She was responsive, thorough, and got the details right. Both agreements are now ready to use as reusable templates across my client base. Would hire again."
