Most commercial disputes the lawyers later handle could have been avoided with clearer drafting in the original contract. A contract written in generic language, or copied from a template without adapting it to your actual deal's circumstances, leaves gaps that only surface once a disagreement arises, at a point where it's harder to fix. Careful drafting from the start is far cheaper than litigating over it later.

The dispute resolution mechanism (courts or arbitration, and which one), early termination terms and their financial consequences, limits of liability and compensation for indirect damages, and the governing law in contracts with a foreign party all seem like formalities at signing but become the central point of contention if the business relationship later sours.
Many clients reach out to us after signing an unbalanced contract, at which point the legal options become limited to what's actually written. Legal review before signing, even if it seems like an extra step delaying the deal's closing by a few days, saves you the cost of a dispute that could drag on for months or years afterward.
