Greetings from a contracting newbie... been lurking here for a while, and couldn't find any relevant info on this when searching the forums.
I've got a limited company together with my wife, who started a contract last year. I'm in discussions with a company that I'm likely to start doing some contract work for, probably as soon as this Friday, and need supply them with a service agreement.
Do people tend to go to a solicitor to do this, or do you write your own?
If using a solicitor, how much should you expect to pay?
If you write your own, are there any pitfalls to avoid, or things that must be included?
Basically, I'll be providing expert advice via email, and undertake specific projects (migrations of IT systems, etc), sometimes from home, sometimes on site locally, and possibly sometimes traveling to other offices in the UK and abroad. It will be part time work, and each assignment will be based on a specific requirement.
It should hopefully be a no-brainer to keep it outside of IR35, but I don't want to open myself up to any un-necessary risks.
Cheers!
