Alright, my contract is coming to an end (mid Aug). The client wants me to stay on with an increase in my hourly rate. I have however come to realise that my agency is taking 33% commission. Idiot!! Yes I know!!! I would really like to leave the agency at the end of the contract and approach another agent. However my current contract says that I cannot continue to provide a service to the same client for 4 months after the contract has terminated (or something along those lines). The new contract which my agent wants me to sign is up until Apr 2005 (from Aug)
The question is, can I get the client to say that they only want to extend the contract by a month, opt-in to the regulations and then once the month is complete, leave the agency and approach another that will take a lower commission? Or is there another way I can continue to work for the client and change agency?
