 Businesses draft, review, and sign contracts daily, but these processes can be complicated to understand. For example, a high-profile company may hire a contract lawyer to draft a biased agreement and take advantage of a business owner's naivety. Since contracts are binding, it would be best if you had an attorney present to design a new contract form, review it, or negotiate a relationship.  The implications of a bad contract can be devastating for any business owner. Drafting and signing a contract before a lawyer reviews it could put you in a situation where you agree to unfair terms. Even if you understand how contract drafting, reviewing, negotiations work, it would still help if you let an attorney review it to have peace of mind.
