Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Consultant reimbursement and Need free of Liability
I am a consultant who wishes to charge an hourly rate not to exceed a monthly cap unless mutually agreed to for services rendered to introduce a product supplier to buyers and to potential investors. I need a clause that includes reimbursement of expenses. Should a buyer make a purchase or moneies are provided to the prodcut supplier as an investment in the product supplier, I would receive a 6% broker or finders fee (do not know the term for fee) with the hourly rate paid to me be deducted from the 6% fee. I do not know how to state a definition of all sales or of any capital investment or how the fees would be calculated and funds imparted. I need a clause to be exempt from any legal liability, including from my own actions, assuming the actions were not deliberate, from either the product supplier, the buyer, or the investor. Finally, what agreement form would I use?

Re: Consultant reimbursement and Need free of Liability
For starters, you are not likely to get specific legal advice and contract language from the net, as it would be improper and risky. Any you do get would be suspect - free advice is worth what you pay for it, at most. If you need a contract drafted, as you suggest, then you need to consult with an attorney who will represent your interests as his client. That can be done for reasonable fees. Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss facts and fees.
