Not answering your question but here's a funny story from my past: Once i got a job at IBM (as a consultant) and they told me i had to structure it via "agency". IBM was willing to pay premium on top of my rate to make all legal paperwork to come through easier. So i had to call "lucky" agency myself. I called first one I knew - but the agent there had a bad habit of ignoring my calls. He ignored me again. Then i called another agency and they happily agreed to make paperwork happen. I conservatively estimate the loss of the first guy's agency was about $170,000 in do-nothing fees due to ignorance.
