means you can't get insurance to cover legal costs there (from here).

make sure you get everything written into the contract -all includes and discludes - they are generally willing to negotiate on most things.

avoid getting taken to court OR having to take them to court!!

lol that will certainly be the desire!!

So I obviously need to extend PI cover to the US, I'll ask Qdos Monday what the extra premium will be, and what it actually covers.

US Contract Law

All

I have an opportunity to do some work as a second contract in evenings and weekends for a US client. They are going to pay me in US dollars, so I will be multiplying my rate by 1.8 to give me the $ figure.

Additionally they have asked if i am happy that the contract be governed by US law, any issues here?
