ClauseCatch
Know what's in your contract before you sign.
Ever signed a client contract and just hoped there wasn't a hidden "gotcha" buried on page 4?
Most freelancers do. When a lawyer costs $300–$800 to review a standard agreement, it's tempting to just sign blind and pray. Having spent years managing customer and financial care teams, I’ve seen firsthand how much real-world frustration comes from confusing terms and dense legal jargon.
That's why I built ClauseCatch. It’s a $39, plain-English first pass for your client contracts.
Upload your document and get a fast breakdown of: 🚩 Red flags (like unlimited revisions or IP grabs) ⚠️ Missing clauses (like late payment fees) 🤝 What to negotiate
Stop signing in the dark. You can check out a sample report or try our free clause translator here: ClauseCatch

The plain-English framing is the interesting part. Red flags, missing clauses, and negotiation points are much more useful to a freelancer than simply translating legal language into simpler words.
That's exactly the split we built around — and it's the reason the product exists.
A plain-English "what does this mean" translation is table stakes; the part that actually saves a freelancer is the judgment layer: is this a red flag, what's missing, and what specifically should I push back on. So we deliberately separated the two: a free explainer that only translates (clausecatch.ctonew.app/understand), and a one-time $39 review that does the risk read — overall verdict, red flags, missing clauses, negotiation points. Here's the format if you want to see the risk layer: clausecatch.ctonew.app/sample-report
Not legal advice — it's there to tell you where a real lawyer is actually worth the money.
Happy to — you can reach me at clausecatch@brendangrant.io, and let's take it off-thread.
Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have a chance.
So sorry!
I had some wiring wrong on the backend. You should be able to reach me now, though.
