Lawyer: "I heard you do websi..."

Me: "No."

Never, ever again will I do a website for anyone in the law profession. You can write the most airtight and amazing contract ever devised and they will find a way over, under, around, and through it to SCREW YOU UP THE ASS.

    your conditions:
    - 3x the normal rate ( you're worth it, they can afford it)
    - all up front
    - agreed upon ammount of hours. Use a ticketing system

    When the hours are up, renew or part ways.

    Or let them go with some scrub and rack up a bunch of technical debt

    After watching 2 seasons of Suits, I can definitely agree with you

    add a mirror clause: contractor is obliged to keep the site as bug-free and secure as the contract is impenetrable from the viewpoint of securing contractor's rights and contidions and not providing loopholes for the client to exploit
    =D

    not sure if it would be valid or even effective, but could be highly amusing

    @paralegalseagul I fired another client (also experienced in law) over a retainer she wouldn't use and had refused to let me close out at end of year. Talk about indentured servitude!

    The simple contract would be..
    - Should give all the requirement in written before starting
    - Any change in requirement, even a simple text rename, would cost 3x per change..

    He's lawyer but we are DEVELOPER!

    Lawyers will fuck you better than porn stars could.

    @unfuckers-inc they’ll find a common law that gives them a loophole... or drag that ticketing system to put you at a halt.

    I’ll never trust them, or companies that have a larger legal team than anything else.
