Have you given thought to issues with legal liability that your prospective startup would get themselves into should they take you on board?

Have you given thought to issues with legal liability that your prospective startup would get themselves into should they take you on board?
- evanmarks 14y agoAre you referencing the work for free portion of my post, or a general liability that taking a new person onboard entails? I am not familiar with California's laws on the former, but would certainly want to be in compliance. My choice of the word 'free' was to highlight that I am looking for compensation in the form of learning and connections rather than money. Not sure how the latter would work exactly - I would hope to demonstrate to anyone interested that I am competent enough to not interfere with the status quo of their business and the legalities surrounding it. Thanks for raising this issue, I hadn't considered it before.

Another way to do this would be to structure it as a contractor to be paid $100/week for general consulting; something that insulates your friendly employer from any risk with bringing you on board.
