Most people focus on the price, scope of work, or deadlines when reviewing a contract.
But some of the biggest risks are hidden elsewhere.
🚩 Red Flag #1: The agreement was created using AI or a generic online template. Contracts should be tailored to the specific deal, not copied from a one-size-fits-all form.
🚩 Red Flag #2: The general terms were ignored. Provisions covering jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, and dispute resolution can have a major impact if problems arise.
🚩 Red Flag #3: There's no clear way to end the relationship.
A strong contract doesn't just address how parties work together, it also addresses what happens if they don't.
The best contracts aren't just designed for when things go right. They're designed for when things don't.
