Law is not one-size-fits-all. Specialization matters.

There are no true generalists in law. Drafting or reviewing contracts is not just about legal phrases and grammar. A good lawyer must understand the broader risks — from tax implications to liability rules and dispute potential. So make sure your lawyer specializes in contracts. If they frequently handle such matters or publish about them, that’s a strong sign.

Ask what the service actually includes

Don’t hesitate to ask: Does the fee include the draft? Research of legal cases? Tailored advice? How many revisions are included? Legal services aren’t a product you pick off the shelf — it’s all about scope, depth, and delivery. A transparent lawyer will explain this upfront.

Check references, communication, and your own feeling

Trust is key. Pay attention not only to what the lawyer says, but also how. Do they listen? Do they explain things clearly? Do they have experience with your type of matter? Client feedback or visible articles can be helpful clues.

Price matters — but it’s not everything

The cheapest lawyer often becomes the most expensive in the long run. A good contract takes time and legal insight. A lawyer who knows their worth will give you not only a legally sound draft but peace of mind. And if something goes wrong? You know who to call — and who takes responsibility.
