Barefaced attorney finally upholding women’s contract (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

warranty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'contract' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'barefaced attorney finally upholding women's' is the wordplay.
'barefaced' becomes 'arrant' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'upholding' says to put letters next to each other (holding on top - in a down clue).
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
The last letter of 'attorney' is 'y'.
'arrant'+'y'='arranty'
'arranty' after 'w' is 'WARRANTY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for warranty that I've seen before include "Quality guarantee" , "assurance" , "pledge" , "Guarantee given to a purchaser" , "Free repair document" .)
