Contract reviews on a tight schedule

[Alan @ BroomeAffinity]

Lawspeed offer a fast and cost effective contract review service. Turnaround is a maximum of 3 working days.

If it is IR35 that you are worried about, their status review service is also more detailed than many accountant's offerings as it takes into account your actual working practices and not just the contract terms.
See:
http://www.lawspeed.com/providers/se...w_options.aspx


Furthermore, Lawspeed are now offering an IR35 advisory service. Clients of which are guaranteed to operate outside of IR35.

Contact William Morris on 01273 236236 or [email protected] for further details.

Read the thread before posting up Will. Its not IR35 issues he's concerned with.

It was "other issues" I was thinking about.

Then B&C are probably not the answer. From what I can see, they are coming at it from a purely IR35 angle. Can you not ask your solicitor?

I never bother with a contract review. As long as you know what to put in there and how to structure your working practices, you'll be right...

If you are thinking of taking out IR35 insurance you might need an "official" review to be covered. Just a point.

I'd agree with this if the review is purely from an IR35 perspective but there may be other issues around the contract that need to be looked at and the OP didn't make that clear.

Bauer & Cottrell normally do very fast turnarounds for me - no issues.

ditto.

[Sockpuppet]

Employment agencies usually want a contractor to start a contract within days of making an offer. How can one find time to get a lawyer to review the contract the agency offers you (and then to negotiate any changes) when the schedule is so tight?

Make them wait. Never start becuase they want you to with a contract your not happy with. Will cost you £££ in the long run.

Wait to get it revewed.
