Do you get a lawyer to check over every single contract you make or did you just visit a lawyer initially to figure out what content should be in each of your contracts?
You're welcome Travis.

I got my lawyer to go over my contracts after I had drafted them up. I only have a contract for web development and graphic design, they are both very similar except the graphics one doesn't contain web elements. The lawyer just checked the legality of my clauses and the pertinent New Zealand law.

It cost around $200 NZ ($140'ish US)

Thanks for that Julian. Just had a quick look-over and it will definitely be useful for me. About time I started practicing business properly (and safely!).

Thanks again, and I'll get a lawyer to check it for me ASAP.

Just a note to anyone potentially wanting to use Julian's example contract. Please proof-read everything in there! The supplied download has a few glaring errors throughout the document and should certainly not be used 'as-is'.

Julian, if you want me to let you know of the problems I've spotted then just let me know. If you're wanting to provide this as a 'usable' contract (that should always be checked by a lawyer, but we all know that might not always happen) then it would be best to fix up the small mistakes.

Great article. Would you mind if I got in contact with you Julian? I've got some questions myself that you might be able to help me out with.

Thanks!
