Consulting Agreement

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?

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.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

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.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
