Talk with a lawyer buddy made me rethink my whole contract template

My friend Sarah who does corporate law took one look at my service agreement and pointed out 3 places where I basically had zero liability protection. She said one specific line about 'unforeseen delays' could have been the thing that let a client sue me for missing a deadline even if my hard drive crashed. Has anyone else had their contracts reviewed by someone outside their industry and got totally blindsided?

Sounds like typical lawyer scare tactics honestly.

Right, because lawyers are famous for wasting their time on scare tactics for no reason. Guess they just run on free coffee and boredom.

Thirty years ago I hired a lawyer over a contract dispute and it saved me thousands in the long run. Sometimes a real threat is worth taking seriously.
