IDENTIFY THE DRAFT AND ATTACHMENTS
Use neutral references only. Share original documents through counsel's agreed private intake process.
Legal Services · FREE PREPARATION PACK
Contract consultation draft and question workbook
A useful contract consultation starts with knowing which draft and attachments you are asking a lawyer to discuss. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai connects neutral document labels to your questions and later response references. It helps you compare the proposed professional role and keep versions straight; it does not interpret a clause, propose language or decide whether you should sign.

Preparation only, not legal advice, contract interpretation, drafting, enforceability analysis, rights or merits assessment, negotiation strategy, deadline calculation or signing approval. No attorney-client relationship is formed. Keep party names, amounts, allegations, confidential terms and privileged advice out of this workbook and any public request.

How to use this resource
Use labels such as Agreement A, Version 1 and Attachment B instead of names or confidential terms. Ask the lawyer about conflicts and the private intake process before sharing documents. Record whether each referenced attachment is available, missing or uncertain. Give each question a number and a document-location reference; describe only a general objective, without quoting terms or privileged advice. After a private discussion, record a reference to the lawyer's reply and the later draft location, not the substance of legal advice. A newer file is not an approved agreement. Keep unresolved explanations open and discuss urgent dates directly with counsel.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
LINK QUESTIONS ACROSS DRAFTS
Record references, not legal advice or proposed clause wording. A later draft is not approval to sign.
CHECK THE DOCUMENT CONVERSATION
Tick only what is organized or confirmed. These checks do not evaluate the agreement.
QUESTIONS FOR THE CONTRACT LAWYER
Use the same draft inventory when discussing experience and the proposed professional role.
COMPARE THE SAME PROFESSIONAL ROLE
Use Lawyer A and B in each box. Resolve differences in scope before comparing fees.

Questions for a contract lawyer
- Do you handle this type of agreement, and what experience and team would be relevant?
- What conflicts and private intake process should happen before I send drafts or attachments?
- How will we identify the draft and attachments that your proposed work covers?
- How will my numbered questions be linked to your explanation and any later draft?
- Does the proposed engagement include review, drafting, counterpart communication or dispute representation, and what is excluded?
- Who communicates revisions, how are additional rounds scoped, and how are fees, expenses and open questions documented?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
