Currently, I write all of the contracts. If it is a new client, I may request a payment down at commencement of work, then bill them twice monthly as the project progresses. As you work with client you learn which ones that you trust (even without a contract). I have found that a contract proposal is best because it insures that everyone understands what the scope of work is and what payment terms are expected. The proposal can contain optional services that your client may not have considered. If there is any objection to the contract, this is not a bad thing it helps refine the business relationship.
