IR35 unfriendly wording

This being the case, doesn't that render all contract review services utterly pointless?

Don't the reviews happen before the contract is accepted? Therefore the actual working practices will not be known at that point.

No. If the contract is worded such that it is clear that you are an employee, then there is no wriggle room - you are an employee and need to be inside IR35.

If the contract is worded such that there is ambiguity, or is worded so that it is clear that there is no intention for you to be an employee, then there is room to argue one way or the other, which is where the IR35 arguments happen.
