Agency & Consultant Uncapped Indemnification & Liability Auditor
Many enterprise MSAs include a "Limitation of Liability" cap in Section 8, and then quietly carve out "Indemnification obligations" and "Confidentiality" from that cap in the final sentence—making your liability 100% unlimited if the client gets sued over materials they approved or data they provided.

Without a contractual "Stop-Work" right and deemed-acceptance window, clients can stall deliverable feedback for weeks, demand endless "minor tweaks," or cancel a project mid-stream ("Termination for Convenience") and only pay for completed milestones—leaving you holding the bag for your team’s payroll.
Freelance & Agency Non-Compete / Exclusivity Trap Auditor
If your agency specializes in a vertical (e.g., FinTech, Dental, E-Commerce), signing a broad "Non-Compete" or "No Conflict" clause buried in a client’s NDA/MSA can legally prohibit you from working with any other company in your target niche for 24 months.
Construction Subcontractor Agreement Redline Auditor (Pay-if-Paid & Retainage)
