An EOR contract makes the employment relationship legal, but it was written to cover the EOR’s own obligations, not necessarily your company’s specific IP, confidentiality, or equity terms. Those gaps are common and rarely visible until they matter, which is exactly what a document check is for.

The odds that a self-adapted US contract is fully compliant are low, and not because of anything you did wrong. Adapting a document preserves its shape and format but does not automatically transfer the substance that made the original compliant, since most of that substance was written for a legal system this document no longer sits inside. A check tells you specifically which clauses survived the adaptation and which did not.

A lawyer-drafted contract is often solid but not always sufficient, and the failure mode is usually scope rather than competence: a lawyer engaged to produce a standard local contract may not have been asked to consider your specific IP structure, your equity plan, or your remote-work setup. A check confirms the document does what you actually need, not only what it was asked to do.

A gap report tags every clause and required document as missing, unenforceable, or acceptable as-is, with a plain-language note on why. It is built to be handed straight to whoever needs to act on it, whether that is you, your counsel, or your board.

No credible answer is possible without actually checking the document, because a document that looks complete can still be missing something that only shows up when it is tested against the specific country’s requirements. A genuine answer requires checking it, not skimming it.

A finding from the review becomes a scoped fix rather than a surprise. Most findings are resolved by replacing a specific clause or adding a specific missing document, not by rebuilding everything, and our Gap Review Plus Remediation tier does exactly that work once the findings are in.
