Emerging Business Seminar (Phoenix) – How To Structure Consulting Relationships
When structured properly, these consulting relationships can add tremendous value to your business. However, if structured improperly, these relationships can bring about disastrous results. One common mistake – treating someone as an independent contractor when they should have been an employee under federal and state law – can lead to significant liability for both you and your company.
Snell & Wilmer invites you to the next program in the Emerging Business Seminar Series, where partners Brian J. Burt and Joshua R. Woodard will discuss structuring consulting relationships.
Topics for this complimentary seminar will include:

- Representations and warranties
- Authority to act for your company
- Ownership of intellectual property
