- I would like to know if any TELECOM Digest readers are willing to
- share copies of consulting contract forms (and any letters of agency
- forms). Specifically, I am performing a service as a
- telecommunications consultant, whereby I am providing advice,
- expertise, guidance, soliciting information and proposals from
- vendors, helping client in equipment, vendor, and service selection,
- performing network and equipment configuration. Work may possibly
- include recommendations for software changes to PBXs, voicemail
- systems, bridges, routers, etc. Are telecommunications consultants
- often issued an LOA (letter of agency) by the client so that they can
- act on client's behalf in dealing with LECs, IXCs, and CPE vendors? Or
- is this uncommon?
-
- I have incorporated. I am looking for contract forms which focus on
- scope of work, yet limit liability. I am particularly concerned about
- liability issues (a mistake or error on my part causes client to
- suffer losses due to network outage, for example).
-
- Any help or advice in this area would be appreciated.
-
- BTW, a lawyer whom I know advised me that a tightly written contract
- was a much better form of liability protection than 'errors and
- omissions' insurance.
-
- Thank you.
