The lawyer's job is to prevent legal mistakes, not business mistakes. Only you can look after your business interests.

Well, right, but that's no justification for repeating the lawyer's work. That's an argument for making your business requirements clear to the lawyer.

It's the same argument for both law and programming. Badly communicated requirements yield bad results.

You may find it difficult to convey your needs in enough detail for a small contract review.
