Abstract:

What are the general considerations and key issues that need to be addressed in consulting agreements?

In this one-hour presentation, Mr. Cunningham will address some legal aspects important to consultants involved in the planning, negotiating and drafting of consulting agreements.

The principal topics in his discussion will be:

• General principles of contract law relevant to consulting agreements
• Key legal issues specifically relevant to consulting agreements
• Key tax issues relevant to consulting agreements
• Key intellectual property issues relevant to consulting agreements
• If the consultant has the upper hand in negotiating a consulting engagement, what should the consultant seek?
• If the client has the upper hand in negotiating a consulting engagement, how should the consultant handle the negotiation?

During this presentation Mr. Cunningham will comment on the IEEE prototype consulting agreement.
