Freelance work should pay on time, keep your IP safe, and leave hidden traps out of the fine print.

LexGig is a lightweight contract screen for freelancers. Paste a job post or agreement, surface predatory clauses fast, and walk into negotiation already knowing where the risk sits.

Milestone payment holds

Language that lets clients approve work late, or release payment only after vague internal review.

IP grabs

Clauses that transfer all deliverables, drafts, prompts, and background know-how without boundaries.

Late payment traps

Terms that allow net-45 or net-60 payment without interest, penalties, or a dispute timeline.

Freelancers sign under deadline pressure.

When a gig needs to close tonight, bad payment language and rights grabs get missed.

Paste the text. Read the risk in plain English.

This MVP shows how LexGig can convert dense clauses into a quick issue list for negotiation.

Walk into the client call with leverage.

Instead of asking a lawyer-level question from scratch, start from the exact clause worth pushing back on.

Paste a contract clause or a freelance job post.

The backend now runs a rule-based contract scan for payment holds, satisfaction-gated payment, IP grabs, revisions traps, liability waivers, non-competes, and scope creep language.

Sample text to try

Client may withhold milestone payment until final acceptance. All ideas, drafts, prompts, and derivative work become the client’s property. Approved invoices are payable within 45 days.
