I would like to have my own bussiness through the web. I have a new concept, kind of service, there is no product to sell. I absolutelly need a web designer. Does she/he has/should/need to sign a Confidentiality Agreement?
The same with an attorney. If I need to discuss the concept with them in the order to know if I need a patent or another kind of protection. There is a trademark related to this?
Can I just e-mail my question to an attorney without any confidentiality agreement?
This thread really underscores the importance of choosing the people you work with carefully. Legal issues aside, when you team with like-minded professionals who share your values, you stand the chance of developing much more fulfilling professional relationships.
A little due diligence goes a long way. Consult your attorney regarding how to protect yourself legally and which agreements should be executed, but also know who you are working with and how they may affect your business.
it depends on the "obligation" you are talking about. lawyers have a lot of different kind of obligations to clients. if you come in to my office but don`t hire me, my duties to you are probably very very limited. for example, if i learn something that might be helpful/harmful to you next year, i probably have no duty to track you down and inform you about it - though I may have some duty to inform a "real" client about the helpful/harmful info. the lawyer is not a hostage the minute somebody walks through their door.
I`m not sure what the difference is between "telling them something" and "consulting."
Interesting! very interesting all those points.
It is good to know them.
