Ask HN How much do you spend on lawyers?
Beyond the basic requirements of doing business, what do you pay lawyers to do, and how do you keep it affordable?

A few of them did and in total I spent a few E100 on them in 20 years. Here, even if your ToS or disclaimers and whatever suck, there is not really money to get. A lawsuit is lost money wise for both parties. Which I like. I can just say; bring it on, whatever they are saying. Which usually is a good deterrent.
Thought I would say this here as the US seems quite the opposite. I cannot imagine the feeling defending yourself for $10k+ to some troll. Your hard work punished by some moron with deep pockets and no morals. Seems like a horrible way to be; I would always incorporate here and have a sibling company in the US, all contracts stating that Dutch law applies and that any suits have to be fought out in the court of Utrecht, NL.
The company folded before I had to hire him to rewrite it though, otherwise I would've spent another $600 on another 2 hours of writing & revising a new ToS.
I am thinking it's the lawyer who may have to pay because your company paid the lawyer to draft the ToS and he was not competent if such case happens. But I am not sure, hence the question.
Thanks.
