What are the general considerations and key issues that need to be addressed
in consulting agreements?

In this one-hour presentation, Mr. Cunningham will address some legal
aspects important to consultants involved in the planning, negotiating and
drafting of consulting agreements.

The principal topics in his discussion will be:

   - General principles of contract law relevant to consulting agreements
   - Key legal issues specifically relevant to consulting agreements
   - Key tax issues relevant to consulting agreements
   - Key intellectual property issues relevant to consulting agreements
   - If the consultant has the upper hand in negotiating a consulting
   engagement, what should the consultant seek?

During this presentation Mr. Cunningham will comment on the IEEE prototype
consulting agreement.
