I don't think so. She's a lawyer by training and is offering that service to people in the industry that would appreciate the skills of a lawyer with specific experience in publishing. I suspect it would appeal more to self-pubs, or authors at micro-pubs who don't have an agent, but would still like an expert legal opinion before signing anything.
Her clients at Stonesong have a standard agency agreement with the usual commission only.
"Hey y'all! Guess what? In addition to agenting at Stonesong, I have a new venture called MLE Consulting, where agents and authors can hire me to read and negotiate contracts. Info at http://melissaedwardsesq.com ."
