Although I wouldn't over-think this, if you've never dealt with counsel before this article is worth a couple of minutes to skim through. Just one example is probaly enough to highlight, but it is a classic: Resource double-up. "You’ll have a conference call scheduled and they’ll invite additional attorneys to sit in. And they’ll charge you for it, even though they may not say a word during the meeting. Add a clause to your contract that says, “We agree not to bill you for any more than one attorney on any conference call with you.“
