WHEN IT PAYS OFF TO HAVE A CONTRACT DRAFTED BY A LAWYER – AND WHY IT’S WORTH IT

Print

“I just wanted something simple…” A clause that cost him CZK 300,000

Tomáš needed a simple contract for a freelance job. He used an AI tool – the output looked perfect. But when the client stopped paying, the court ruled against Tomáš. Why? The contract didn’t clearly state what exactly he was to deliver or when he was to be paid. Tomáš lost CZK 300,000 – not because he didn’t have a contract, but because it wasn’t high-quality. A lawyer would have asked the right questions.

Contract drafted by a lawyer – when is it worth it, how much does it cost, what are the advantages over templates or AI tools, and how does a tailor-made contract really protect you?

🧑‍⚖️ When a lawyer-drafted contract really pays off:

1. When you’re starting a business or long-term cooperation

Tailor-made contracts reduce the risk of disputes and set clear expectations.

2. When large sums of money or property are involved

The higher the value, the higher the risk – a single clause can make or break the outcome.

3. When you need specific conditions for a unique situation

Templates often fail in areas like intellectual property, confidentiality or non-compete clauses.

4. When the contract covers liability, risks or deadlines

A lawyer will strengthen these parts – or flag issues early.

5. When you want clarity and peace of mind

A contract isn’t just paper – it’s a tool of prevention and assurance.


📜 What a lawyer brings to contract drafting:

  • Understands your goal and situation

  • Transforms the agreement into legally enforceable language

  • Ensures enforceability and legal clarity

  • Identifies and addresses legal risks

  • Suggests protective elements you may not think of


🧩 Case from practice:

Two co-founders agreed verbally on joint ownership of an app they were developing. Once the app started making money, one pushed the other out. Why? The contract didn’t cover shares or decision-making powers. Today, the app runs under one name – and one lost friend.


✅ Lawyer’s recommendation:

Even a simple contract can be the foundation of a fair relationship – or a ticking time bomb. A tailored contract costs a few thousand. Fixing a broken deal can cost hundreds of thousands. The choice is yours.
