What about the case where the contract is enforceable at the time of signing but the law changes after it's been signed?

  What about it? At the time it was signed, it was enforceable. So the lawyer would be fine.

    Should the entire contract then become void when one subclause becomes unenforceable? If not, how is this different from the case where a previously unenforceable clause becomes enforceable?

      No. There are standard, specific clauses in contracts to prevent this. If one clause is deemed void, the rest of the contract stays as is.

        But that's the problem that we've got now. Being able to have such a blanket clause encourages putting in all kinds of crap to see what sticks.
