What the documents show
Reports identify Continental Strategy and its founder Carlos Trujillo, a former Trump ambassador to the OAS (Mother Jones). No source read says Continental is owned by Trump's personal lawyer. Giuliani's FARA history found in searches relates to earlier Ukraine-related work and concerns other matters; no source found links him to the Albanian contract. The 250,000 dollar figure matches 6 million over 24 months (about 250,000 a month), so the two figures may describe the same contract on different bases. This is a reading of the numbers, not a source statement.
