Emoluments Compliance Decision Tree & Opinion Letter Service
A boutique legal-tech service that pairs a structured decision-tree questionnaire (custom-built for foreign honors, gifts, and awards) with rapid turnaround written compliance opinions from vetted constitutional law specialists. Clients answer 15-20 targeted questions about the gift/honor (source, monetary value, conditions, their role, jurisdiction), and within 48-72 hours receive a 2-3 page written opinion letter addressing Emoluments Clause exposure, state law conflicts, and recommended disclosure steps.
