Most contract teams do not need another full-time hire or another tool. They need someone senior to look at the agreements that matter, keep the playbooks current, and decide what goes up to counsel. CYNERSA on Retainer puts a senior contract manager on your team, five to ten hours a week, month to month, backed by 26 years of contract experience across entertainment, real estate, and enterprise, including more than 15 years managing enterprise contracts in professional sports, global media, and healthcare.
A weekly queue of the agreements your team is unsure about, reviewed against your playbook, each returned as a Record with the clause cited and the points for counsel.
A written standard for each of your top contract types: required clauses, risk definitions, and the positions your organization holds. Most teams keep this in people's heads. We put it on paper and update it as deals teach us.
Who reviews what, what goes to counsel, what the business owner can sign alone. Written down, so the queue does not stop when one person is out.
Before your team talks to the other side, a short list of what to ask for and why, drawn from the Record. The conversation with counsel gets shorter because the groundwork is done.
Where AI should do a first read, where it should not, and how to keep a human decision on every flag. The Human Layer™ as a working procedure for your team, not a slogan.
One document a month: what came through, what was found, what was decided, what to watch next month. The page your General Counsel actually reads.
Five to ten hours a week of senior time, scoped in the audit so the hours match the queue. Larger scopes are quoted. Thirty days' notice either way. The audit fee is credited against the first month.
Roughly 50 to 2,000 people, 10 to 200 contracts a month, no legal operations function, and a General Counsel or COO who is tired of being the bottleneck.
Professional sports, entertainment, media, and the agencies around them, including music licensing and television sync. Healthcare. Real estate. Vendor and technology agreements anywhere.
CYNERSA is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. The retainer works beside your counsel, not instead of them. Our job is to make the questions you bring to counsel sharper and fewer.
We take one organization at a time, and new engagements start in November 2026. Every engagement begins with a conflict check before any documents are shared. We reply within two business days and book a call. If the slot is taken, you go on the list and we tell you honestly when the next opening is.
Start with the four-week audit, or send one agreement and see the Record for yourself.
