> Make Sure Contracts Are Signed With the Company - The contracts you sign should be between the client you are working with and your company NOT between the client and you personally. Discuss this with your lawyer.
So simple, yet so many people fail to do so. They believe that since they are incorporated they are protected.

- andrewflnr 8y agoWhat does this even mean from a mechanical standpoint? What do you look for? More importantly, where do you learn about all this low level mechanical stuff? Business books and HN comments always assume you know how to do that stuff. They don't teach it in school, at least for CS majors. (And yes, I took the "law for everyday life" class at my school. It was basically at the same theoretical level)
- kevinburke 8y agoUsually the first sentence of the contract will describe the parties signing it. “This agreement is between Acme, Inc (the Company) and Kevin Burke (Consultant)” is bad. The agreement should be between Acme Inc and whatever the registered name of your company is. Similarly on the signature line you sign as an agent of the company (CEO, Sole Member etc) the same way your counterparty signs it.
- willart4food 8y agoIt's more about * critical thinking * actually listening If someone hires a lawyer to incorporate their business, they need to enter in any and all contract agreements under their corporate name and not their personal name. Ignorance and often EGO (me, me, me, me and.. this is minutiae) get on the way.
