Eliminate Confusion & Overwhelm How We Help Business Owners Protect Their Businesses
We know legal is about as fun as a visit to the dentist. We make protecting your business as quick, easy, and painless as possible.
Contracts are the guidepost of your entire relationship with your client, giving you the legal protection you need, but also outlining what you’re doing for clients and when, how you’re getting paid, what happens in the event a client defaults on payment…and so much more. From download to completion, be done, legally protected, and ready for clients in less than an hour.
Our contracts are flexible. You can use the same contract even if the way you charge varies between clients, or you offer different packages or services depending on the client. Contracts are downloadable Word documents you can pop into Honey Book, Dubsado, or any electronic signature service. You can change the fonts and colors to match your branding. All contracts come with step-by-step instructions and video tutorials to walk you through customizing for your clients.
Ready to get this done and off your “Someday To-Do” list?
Brand new to business? Been in business awhile, but never had time to build the right legal foundation? Check out Back Pocket Legal, our signature program to help you level up legally. It’s a start-to-finish legal solution: you’ll get access to our entire contract database, learn how to set up your business properly and what you need to know about insurance, copyright, and navigating social media legally. You’ll also have access to our Lock Up Your Brand™️ DIY trademark course, so you can trademark your business name, all while enjoying ongoing support via our biweekly live Q&A sessions.
Contracts are the most important documents in your business, hands down. But business owners have so many more legal questions beyond what contracts they need and why. Head to Guides & Videos for our collection of checklists, guides, short instructional videos, and webinars. Topics include everything from what not to do, based on legal mistakes we see business owners make, to how to use stock photos legally, social media best practices, and more.
A trademark is one of the few business assets that actually appreciates over time. Not only is a federal trademark the only way to comprehensively protect your brand, it’s also a credibility marker for you and your business. It puts both prospective clients and your competitors on notice that you take your brand seriously. Head to Trademarks for more on why a trademark is critical, why working with a trademark lawyer vastly increases the likelihood your trademark application will be approved, and how we can work together to protect your brand with less than a 1 hour time commitment on your part.
CONTRACTS
We save you money.
The quality of a high-priced lawyer without the sticker shock
Most of our contracts are under $500. For less than the cost of one hour with a great lawyer, you can have a premium contract. Want to know a secret? Most lawyers use templates when they’re drafting client contracts anyway!
As for free contracts or cobbling together contracts yourself? Most free contracts have dangerous gaps that leave you unprotected. Plus, you have no idea who drafted your contracts or who to reach out to if you have questions. Taking a contract from a business owner friend is copyright infringement, and trying to put a contract together yourself is like playing Russian Roulette with your business. Are you missing something? Is it something critical? Owning a business is stressful enough; ease your anxiety where you can and get a great contract drafted by a lawyer you trust.

“10 stars!! If you are an entrepreneur, these contracts are essential. This has been a game changer for the security of my business (and anxiety). Mairin’s work is thorough and detailed, yet easy to digest. She has stayed on top all of my questions. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Do yourself a favor and protect your assets.”

“Mairin is a lifesaver!!! I have had my contracts done before but she found loopholes that saved me potentially thousands of dollars!! This gave me massive peace of mind. She answered in 2 minutes what I had been going back and forth via email with someone about for months. Mairin will ensure you are protected in the easiest manner possible!”

“Mairin literally changed my business. I’m working much less and earning so much more! If I didn’t have my VIP session with her, I would still be feeling burnt out. I now have a MUCH better balance between social life and business.
Best investment I’ve ever made.”

“Mairin helped me feel confident in my contracts! I had used some from courses I took and thought that they were good. Thanks to Mairin, I now know that when I send a contract to a client that it includes everything possible to cover me and my assets. In just an hour with Mairin I learned so much more than I expected and I highly recommend purchasing her contracts or having her review yours! Every online service provider should be using Mairin to help keep them protected.”

“I’m so impressed by the [contract video tutorials]. I look forward to writing up my legal docs with Mairin’s templates. I would highly recommend Mairin and will to anyone who asks me. Mairin made something that seems so hard so doable. I’m so impressed, I’ve put this off for so long and now it seems so easy.”

“If you are in need of contracts for your business, Mairin is your go-to. She’s wonderful. Not only did I get a template, she gave me an entire video walking me through, explaining my options, so that I could really make decisions that were aligned with my business. I saved so much time; I was literally able to knock out my contract in 20 minutes and I felt confident because I knew what everything was saying.”

“Thank you, thank you. I feel solid in all our contracts and agreements and I think you should be a “required” service for all entrepreneurs-my only regret is that I didn’t book you earlier!
If anyone is considering getting this done, I wouldn’t wait any longer…you’re losing money by not working with Mairin.”

Who We Are
(and why it matters to your business)
Hi! I’m Mairin Van Shura, founder of Solivagant Legal (head to About for more on why I chose a business name no one can pronounce or define). With just under 15 years legal experience, I’m not your uncle who failed the bar exam five times, or your neighbor down the street who practiced family law 30 years ago, gave your contracts a skim and said, “they’re fine.” I’m an online small business owner, too, and I live and breathe entrepreneurship and business law.
To me, entrepreneurship is freedom: the ability to chart my own course, live and travel abroad, and most importantly to business owners I help every day: the freedom to do things differently. The freedom to buck the traditional way of practicing law that just doesn’t work for busy business owners. When you’re running a business, you need direct answers and quick solutions. You don’t have time to search and vet a lawyer, or to try to research legal questions yourself, knowing you’re likely missing something critical that will put your business at risk. You’re also trying to balance a ton of different expenses, and don’t want the unpredictability of legal costs you won’t know upfront.
Whether it’s our contracts, our courses, or working with us 1:1, we are completely transparent. You’ll always know costs and timeframes. We’ll help you level up legally so you can get back to running your business ASAP, with confidence and peace of mind, knowing you’ve fully protected yourself.
