Legal Documents 101: *
*Operating a Successful Consulting Practice*


You are clearly an expert in technology, science and math. But you probably
haven't had the time to learn about contracts and non-disclosure agreements,
incorporating your business, or what kind of insurance you need or how to
collect on late payments.

these questions from top legal experts in the field, Jonathan Sweet, JD and
Lonnie Finkel, JD, as the Consulting Practices Program presents:
