When new clients have you sign "legal" documents like NDAs and non-competes, do you read these or just sign them blindly? I just sign these to get started working. I doubt most of these are legally enforceable, and I'm not going to disclose a client's secrets anyway.

Always read. Always redline.

I once consulted a lawyer because I was asked to sign an NDA giving the company rights to anything I created, even if it wasn’t for them. The lawyer said obviously I couldn’t do that, and I was going to cross out that language, but then the company forgot to follow up and I never signed the NDA at all.

I never sign anything without going over it thoroughly and redlining the things that I do not want to agree to. I recently had a sizable contract with a large global insurance company and their procurement people were very easy to work with and very professional and they understood myreasonable objections to some of the language in the contract and we came to an agreement.
