That's your major problem. Just because you're a smart engineer, it
doesn't follow that you are qualified to write a contract.

Someone who acts as his own lawyer has a fool for a client. That's a
trite saying, but like many, is true.

Find one lawyer that both you and the other guy can trust, split the
fees, and sit down with him so both of you can explain what you want the
contract to cover and not cover. If the two of you can't work that out, then no
contract, even one *you* write, will be worth the paper it's written on.
