For lawyers: If you don't have the contacts for referrals, contact your local bar association, and they'll either help you find one or get you in touch with someone who can. As for interviewing a lawyer: Interviews tell you diddly squat about a lawyer's legal skills. All you will learn is how well they interview. Avoid lawyers who use "I" a lot; this indicates they don't work well in teams or collaborate well with clients. Avoid lawyers with corner offices (unless you have VC funding), b/c you'll just be a small fry to them; your work will be assigned to an associate. Any lawyer can review web/software projects, but you may want to look for a lawyer with an IP or programming background. The legal advice won't change, but the dude will have a better understanding of how to structure his advice to minimize the changes you need to make. Any lawyer can review a privacy policy/TOS. Unless it's one of your selling points, you don't need to pay a premium for a lawyer who has experience with this.
