Documents We Read

What actually matters in each document you get asked to sign — leases, job offers, NDAs, freelance and vendor agreements — and what each clause commits you to.

Every kind of document hides its costs in a different place. A lease puts them in the notice period and the deposit clause. A job offer puts them in the non-compete and the clawback. A SaaS agreement puts them in auto-renewal and data ownership. These pages go through the documents people are most often asked to sign, and explain what to look for in each one — the clauses that commit you, the ones that cost money, and the wording that should make you pause.

What we look for in any document

Financial Risk

Fees you were not told about, increases written into the term, late penalties.

Liability & Indemnification

Who pays when something goes wrong, and whether that is only ever you.

Termination & Exit Risk

How you get out, what notice you owe, and what leaving early costs.

Ownership & Control

What you hand over by signing — your work, your data, your right to compete.
