Project Deliverables - having a copy

Is there an obvious way to get round this, possibly attach said docs to web based mail ?

In theory, you could attach them to an email using web based email and just not send it - that way you at least have a defence of "but I never sent the email" when you get caught and they terminate the contract.

In future maybe he could work on his own lap top and mail certain completed documents in.
(Obviously being careful not to break any contractual clause)

No company I have known has ever had problems with incoming mail traffic .

My dog logged in and downloaded it from home!

Can't beat the print and scan approach, depending on how much you're printing.

If you get your clientco emails on phone, then you could download the docs onto the phone, either when you have sent them around and cc'd yourself, or from sent items or email it to just yourself at your clientco email address and then download it

I find it weird the number of posters rushing to offer solutions for something which is very likely breaking his contract, and would seem (to me at least) a fairly immoral practice given that the client has actually paid for this stuff. Is this normal here?

Well the standard advice when someone asks what they can do with their warchest is spend it on coke and hookers so I'll let you make your own mind up

There are ways and means to get the format of documents without breaking a contract. However the detail in the documents should never be shared with a competitor.

Ha - no haven't tried nor been caught !

I have produced some really useful docs and so shame to leave them behind. However agree that it is not worth the risk and as per normal contract do become client co material, so will leave these behind as I normally (grudgingly) have to. Thought worthwhile asking the question anyhow.

Why. It recreate the documents from scratch again but on your own computer in your own time and then It's not a client document anymore.

Granted it might be a pain depending on how many hours work when into the originals but worthwhile if you really think what you've created is not worth losing

Or remove the client specific words, create templates and print them out to see what they look like. Use the back for notes making sure your writing is a scrawl and then slip them in your bag/back pocket.
