The more well-versed you are in what each section and clause of a contract is about, the more you can focus on doing great work instead of arguing over contract provisions. Contracting can be intimidating and tricky. The more complex the project or client relationship, the more complex the contract. That said, don't be afraid to read and work on contracts yourself.
