Yeah, a couple of people have told me about it. I would say it sounds like a wet dream of a civil suit, but laws and precedent are a lot different here.
[ Doesn't mean he's not tempted to try anyway, but they'll have to do a lot more research before they can figure out if it's worthwhile to even think about trying.
Knowing that people were able to get out of some of it because of their contracts is a good place to start, though. Maybe other people had things in their contracts that they weren't able to avoid, and they could go after them for violating the contracts they're so keen to -
No, okay, not the point right now, Nelson. ]
You want to get real specific, cover exactly what you two want and don't want and what you can and can't do. More complicated than going vague and leaving yourself a lot of wiggle room for anything that might come up, but a hell of a lot safer. Smarter, too.
Yeah, we can do that. Full disclosure - it'll be the first contract I've done here, aside from working on my own and drafting up a couple of hypothetical ones so I can get a handle on the differences between contract work here and back home. But I'll let you have a look at them, and we can work on it together to make sure it's what you want.
I mean, I at least wanna get explicit as we can about the worst stuff, like no public humiliation, forcing him to kneel in public, no causing him physical harm, that sort of stuff. And maybe next time things go crazy it doesn't matter, but I'd at least feel better knowing I tried.
That's alright, I'd rather take you guys being new to the city than anyone else here, really.
But yeah, that sounds like a plan. I know a quiet place for coffee, you can bring your drafts and we can talk it over?
I know exactly what you mean. I'm doing the same thing.
[ It's the only reason he's doing this, actually, because he wants to have as much protection in place as he can before Matt goes off and does something stupid and brave.
This is the only way Foggy knows how to protect people. ]
Works for me. Text me the address and I'll meet you there?
[Bucky texts him the address, and it's a small place in the down. Coffee that's decent, if not what you'd find in the Up, a decided lack of fancy drinks. But it's clean and quiet, with nice sized tables if you're having conversations over a fair amount of paperwork. This late in the day the pastries aren't quite fresh out of the oven, but it's got something almost like charm. Or maybe Bucky just likes things a little basic.
He's got a few papers with him, too. Nothing fancy, just a rough outline for the things he'd talked about with Clint. Some of the things they hadn't exactly talked about but were just common sense; like that Clint could get a job if he wanted to and got to keep all his money. Not that he thought Clint wouldn't contribute if he could, he just didn't want that to be binding.
Bucky's in jeans and a tee-shirt, so the metal arm isn't hard to spot, and his hair is pulled back in a ponytail. He's got a smile and doesn't look as threatening as one might assume, though.]
