Understanding the contract review process
Thanks SueEllen, I'll try getting a feel for that and a few other things when I meet them. I'm an IPSE member so that should come in handy if I ever have any problems around IR35. Even then, I'd prefer to pay my membership and never find out :D- booglebops

Hi folks, I've been contracting (software dev) for about 2 years now and lurked the site for about the same amount of time.
