Business growing fast, drowning in contracts. When do you bring in a lawyer?

Our business has been growing pretty quickly over the past year, which is great. But now we’re running into stuff we never really had to deal with before. It used to be just basic invoices and simple agreements, but lately it’s turned into vendor contracts, a new lease for a bigger space, and some compliance paperwork that honestly feels way above my pay grade.

Up until now, I’ve been handling most things myself with templates and a bit of Googling, but I’m starting to feel like I’m one bad clause away from shooting myself in the foot. Especially with this new lease, we’re talking multi-year commitments, and I don’t fully trust myself to catch everything.

I’ve been thinking about bringing in a lawyer, but I’m not sure if I’m jumping the gun or if this is exactly the point where you stop DIY-ing it.

For those who’ve been through this, when did you decide it was time to bring in legal help instead of handling it yourself?
