SA friend: there is nothing wrong w using the passive voice, but even if there were, you don’t know how to identify it. Please don’t constantly change “interest began to accrue from…” to “the Notes accrued interest from…” because you think the former is passive—it’s not, bc “accrue” here is an active intransitive verb. So you’re misapplying your own misinformed rule and messing up my document in the process :/

Any leads for good contract doc review attorneys/companies? Working on a complex internal investigation that requires analysis far beyond simple responsiveness coding and getting quotes that outsource to India for a fraction of the cost of reviewing in house is actually not what I’m looking for. Saving money is a consideration but primary driver is dedicated/consistent time commitment. Team is stretched too thin to make it through the volume.
