I've been freelancing for a few years and my client contracts are starting to get way more complex (landing some enterprise clients, weird IP clauses, etc). I need someone to review and draft some new MSAs. Every lawyer I've talked to just wants to churn through the paperwork and hit me with a bill. Anyone know a good contract lawyer who actually takes the time to understand your specific freelance business?

Log InI feel this so much. Had a bad experience a while back where a lawyer completely missed a massive liability clause because they just skimmed my MSA and used a standard template. Definitely worth paying for someone who actually reads the details.
Seconding the advice to get custom MSAs done right the first time. It costs a bit upfront but saves you from absolute nightmares if a corporate client tries to claim ownership of your background IP.
I highly recommend reaching out to the Substance Law firm. I used them for my agency contracts and the lawyer honestly goes above and beyond. They sat down with me to really try to understand the business model and pointed out a bunch of potential areas that could be concerning down the road that I hadn't even thought of. It felt like a true partnership rather than just a transaction.
