Legal Review of Strategic Advisory Letter of Engagement (CA-Licensed Attorney Required)
Project Overview: I am a full-time professional at a major tech company taking on a part-time, independent strategic advisory role for a client. I have drafted a 1.5-page Letter of Engagement for a 3-month pilot (total contract value: $9,000). I need a California-licensed attorney to review and bulletproof this document before I send it to the client for signature.
Key Focus Areas for Review:
Conflict of Interest / Primary Employment: The most critical aspect of this review is ensuring the "Conflict of Interest" clause provides airtight protection regarding my primary employment. The contract explicitly states that my role is limited to macro-level, platform-agnostic advisory and that I will not utilize any non-public data from my primary employer. I need to ensure this language is legally sound and fully protects my employment boundaries.
Independent Contractor Classification: Ensure the language solidifies my status as an independent contractor under current California law.
General Risk Mitigation: Review standard clauses (payment terms, confidentiality, term of engagement) to ensure I am reasonably protected as a solo advisor.
Document Details:
The draft is 1.5 pages.
It outlines a flat-fee, 3-month retainer for a set number of advisory hours (9 hours total).
Candidate Requirements:
Must be licensed to practice law in California.
Strong experience drafting and reviewing B2B consulting agreements and independent contractor agreements.
Experience advising tech professionals on side-advisory engagements is a major plus.
Timeline & Budget: I am looking for a quick turnaround (ideally within 2 business days) as the client is ready to sign. Please provide a flat-fee quote for this review and one round of revisions.
