Generally all agencies say the contract is not up for negotiation.
However once I get my contract reviewed, if the agency decides they will be uncooperative and they receive a sharp email/short phone call from my reviewing lawyer they back down.
Lots of agencies don't actually have an lawyer who draws up their contracts, they just have a "legal expert" who is a kid out of university who has been sent on a legal training course so put any rubbish in their contracts.
One trick is to always make sure you have the details of the people at the client who interview you.
So if the contract falls through by the agency being uncooperative you can ring the client up and explain while you like to work with them unfortunately due to the terms the agency are trying to enforce your lawyer has told you not to do business under those terms.
Some clients will be interested in what the agent is doing while others aren't.
