Start with the practical questions
What is each party expected to do? What will be delivered, and how will progress be discussed? A clear account of the intended arrangement helps focus an agreement review.
Discuss changes and uncertainty
Consider how you would handle a change in scope, a delay, or a disagreement. Raising these questions early can reveal areas where the parties have different expectations.
Bring the complete context
Related emails, proposals, and prior agreements may help an adviser understand the arrangement. Share the relevant context through the agreed process.
Review before committing
An agreement should be considered in light of your specific circumstances and applicable law. Seek an appropriate review before making a commitment.
