Know What to Look For.

Most contract disasters aren't caused by an obviously bad deal — they're caused by a 'standard' clause that nobody questioned. An indemnification provision that runs only one direction. A non-compete that's wider than the actual job. An auto-renewal buried on page nine. A liability cap that quietly makes the other side untouchable.

This cheat sheet is the short version of the diligence pass — the specific clauses we hunt for first when a client sends us a contract and asks 'is this normal?' For each one, you get the language to look for, why it matters, and what a fair version of the same clause usually looks like.

It's deliberately short. Keep it next to your signing folder and use it as a last gate before initials hit paper.
