Consulting Agreement

New Jersey

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

What to look for in a consulting agreement?

I have been given a consulting agreement to sign by a potential client and want to learn the things I should be looking for to make sure I am protected and not getting into a contract I dont' want to get into. Are there any terms that are most important?

Angela Y.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

In general, consulting agreements are independent contractor agreements, which in their most basic forms are someone is paying you "x" amount for work that you do with limited or no benefits (i.e. you're not an employee). Important sections include the services section (i.e. what you are doing for them), compensation, restrictive covenants (non-competes, etc.), work product and ownership or work product, and termination. Other important sections depend on what type of services you are providing and the types of risks inherent to those services.

Noncompete Agreement

New Jersey

Asked on Apr 15, 2021

Can I work for a competitor with my current noncompete?

I have ended my non competent consulting agreement with my current employee and I have an offer to work as an employer “not as consultant” with a competitor company to my privious employees so can I work as an employee without any problem? The consultant agreement says the following: Under any circumstances the consultant shall not engage directly or indirectly either as a principal agent , consultant,stock holder , partner or in any other capacity whatsoever have any other relationship with any business which compete with the company in USA.

Jane C.

Answered Apr 16, 2021

I suggest that you have an attorney review the entire agreement. It is hard to comment reading a paragraph taken out of context. From the limited facts you present, it seems that you cannot accept this job offer without violating the terms of the non-compete.

Physician Employment Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on May 22, 2023

When to use a physician employment agreement?

I am a physician who has been approached by a practice to join their team. I am interested in learning more about the details of the agreement that I will be signing, including when a physician employment agreement should be used. I want to make sure that I am making the best decision for my career and that I am fully informed when signing the agreement.

N'kia N.

Answered May 23, 2023

In North Carolina, written employment agreements between medical groups and the physicians that they employ are standard. A reputable group will almost always present a proposed agreement to a prospective employee without being prompted. Sometimes, the proposed agreement is in the form of an "offer letter" that, once signed, will become the contract between the parties. Before signing any proposed agreement, a prospective employee should ensure that it accurately reflects what the parties have agreed to. It should include all of the agreed-upon terms and should be written clearly enough that an outside third party could interpret what the parties intended without seeking further explanation. Additionally, a prospective employee should pay close attention to contract clauses intended to have long-term effects, including but not limited to "restrictive covenants" such as non-disclosure, non-competition, or exclusivity provisions. Last, a prospective employee might consider having an attorney review a proposed employment agreement before signing. Good luck!

Dental associate contract working hours?

I am a dental associate who is considering signing a contract with a dental practice. I am interested in understanding the working hours that are outlined in the contract, so that I can make an informed decision about the position. I want to make sure that the working hours are reasonable and that I am fully aware of my obligations before signing the contract.

Without seeing the contract and without knowing exactly what you are looking for, it is impossible to answer your question.

Non-Competition Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Jun 18, 2025

Is my non-competition agreement enforceable?

I recently left my job at a technology company and signed a non-competition agreement when I started working there. I have been offered a new job opportunity with a competitor in the same industry, but I am unsure if the non-competition agreement I signed is enforceable. I want to know if I can legally take the new job without facing any legal consequences from my previous employer.

Christopher N.

Answered Jun 20, 2025

Generally the answers is: it depends. non-compete clauses are falling out of favor in most courts due to the growing restrictive nature of the clauses. It of course depends on your industry, state, and the uniqueness of your position. For example, a non-compete clause in the retail industry saying you cannot work for a competitor store as a customer service representative is likely unenforceable. If you are a highly skilled, trained, and educated wall street stock trader you may be prevented from working for a competitor for a period of time -- but even that is likely not enforcement -- it depends on alot of factors specific to you, the position, the industry, the state, and the acutal contract language. I highly recommend you consult with local employment lawyer in your state to get specific answers to your situation. Good luck.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
