RE: 10 legal issues that consultants should know about
Although he says he is a lawyer, he is misleading on item 4. Almost any contract work requires some sort of task order from the client. When they pay you for the work you do on that task order - even if it is verbal - everything you do is their property. Any time someone pays you it becomes their property and it will be difficult for you, not them, to claim that it is not their intellectual property. Consultants almost never win that argument.
