Don't waste your money on attorneys. Use it wisely. A good attorney is critical for anyone dealing with client contracts and it would be foolhardy for anyone to deal with major corporate clients with nothing but boilerplate contract. Especially if you're getting contracts to sign. (Along those lines get a good Errors And Omissions insurance policy)
Doing a startup? Talk to attorneys who specialize in this kind of thing. When I was just thinking about doing a startup I met with some folks at Orrick (big, big firm) who offered to do the first 10k in services for a small equity stake. An offer like this could have saved the authors ass. They also know everyone who means anything and are a great way to meet the right folks. If they introduce you to your first angel wouldn't it be worth it?
