My experience with lawyers is that if you need a legal document, they often have templates ready to go and will take 10 seconds to find & replace your company name into the document. I know this because they often don’t proofread it afterwards. They then charge you $1000 for that 10 seconds of work. Given that I have felt ripped off by many lawyers, I’m totally fine with that industry getting disrupted.

  Do you have any issues with thr tech industry selling software licenses?
  Because a lawyer selling a contract template, is in many ways, very similar in concept to tech industry selling a software license/seat.
  They are both akin to “templates”, and selling IP.

    One is transparent and the other feels like a lie.
    Not in principle, but in practice.
