Should I have a solicitor review this before use?
For high-value or complex engagements, yes. For standard freelance work under $10,000, this template covers the essential terms adequately.
What governing law should I specify?
Use the law of the jurisdiction where you are based, or where the majority of the work is performed. This affects which courts would handle any disputes.
