[consulting] Contract protection clause

[Dan Horning]

I would suggest strongly talking to a lawyer at least once - there may be local issues you have to cover.

IP law is a huge area and most times a client doesn't go deeper than i own the idea and you own the code you have for frameworks... 
non-competes .... i wouldn't include one UNLESS a client requests them... and then most times they have one already made up as it is.

http://www.proposalkit.com/ has some good starting points.

I have one that i've drafted over time to only include key areas and then augment as needed - but that's specific to my experience and needs

message me offlist if you want to see the contract - in a few months i'll post it publicly under creative commons too.
