The only time a contract might be necessary from my perspective is if the money is big, the demands of the client are strict, or the length of the obilgation is long. Otherwise a handshake and a smile have almost always worked for me.
I've just about completed a deal that might have needed a contract. It's for the narration of a weekly TV series, 13 episodes. We agreed on a single rate for the whole group of shows, they said they'd ask for occasional line revisions and sponsor updates at no additional charge over the three month production schedule, and they said they'd pay soon after the last episode was recorded. Well, I've got one episode left to do and I've just been paid. I could have gotten a contract, but my instinct told me these people were straight shooters and they have proven to be so.
