[casual_games] negotiation costs

[Ryan Sumo]

Hi guys,
   
  In a workshop from the europe casuality.org conference, I noticed it 
said something about:
   
  1) contracts costing between 2-5k to negotiate a contract with a 
distributor
  2) needing a good commercial IP lawyer
   
  I was wondering if anyone could tell me why exactly it costs between 
2-5k to negotiate a contract (I'm asssuming the lawyer's fees make up 
some of this?)?
   
  Also, since I'm based in the Philippines, would I have to hire an US 
based IP lawyer when dealing with distributors/publishers in the 
States?
   
  Hope you can help me out!
