Avoid Legal Pitfalls and Manage Business Risk:
Law Essentials for Computer Consultants

To be or not to be: an Independent Contractor or a staff member? That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the long run to be a sole proprietor, a partner, an LLC or a corporation -and all the "taxing" considerations that accrue with this decision.

Come discover the legal aspects of your consulting practice, including writing strong enforceable client contracts, creating and working with NDAs, and document retention requirements.

Attorney Mitchell Chaban will set the stage for a lively, interactive presentation covering a number of legal topics most important to consultants and contractors.

Here's what you'll learn:
„« When it makes sense to incorporate
„« Contracts: the good, the bad and the ugly!
„« Nondisclosure agreements vs. your right to work
„« Document retention rules to protect you and your clients
