How to get your money’s worth from your startup lawyer
The article supports a common fallacy that clients just have to understand enough to police their service-providers.  I would suggest that if you consider yourself to be a startup founder, you should know MORE THAN your lawyer about your particular transaction.  If you do NOT know more than your lawyer, you should consume all available info until you do, or else bring in an advisor (such as a professional seed investor who is not a stakeholder in your company) to help you.  Your lawyer can give you advice only, but you have to take charge of your own direction and decision-making.  Your lawyer can and should also perform the service of organizing all the paperwork, which is surprisingly time-consuming yet not very edifying.
