Unfortunately I don’t have any leads for you. DM me and I’ll give you some thoughts on possibly where to find leads in your area.

One thing I absolutely recommend is getting Tina Stark’s Drafting Contracts: How and Why Lawyers Do What They Do. It’s a workbook that will teach you contract drafting as it’s practiced by most firms these days. Paper copy is far superior (as it often will be when marking things up).
