Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois

You can be a consultant for companies trying to win RFPs; I know people who do this for a living. What you have to watch out for are things like giving out confidential information without full disclosure and permission, conflicts of interest among different clientele, licensing for certain kinds of work (legal, brokering, accounting...), proper e&o insurance depending on the kind of work, etc. Normally as a consultant you represent 1 client trying to win the RFP, and are something like the "hub" or coordinator for the activities. Best to sit with an attorney to whom you can explain everything and put together a proper layer of protection for yourself as well as understand what the ground rules are for this kind of work.
