Free Legal Consultations from the CSIA Legal Plan

By Brian Clifford posted 09-20-2016 16:04

  

The CSIA Legal Plan is an automatic benefit included with your CSIA membership which provides a bundle of free and discounted legal services oriented to the special needs of integrators. With this benefit, CSIA members are entitled to up to two free 30-minute legal consultations per quarter in English at no charge. For more information on the CSIA Legal Plan, including additional benefits available to you as a CSIA member, please visit www.faegrebd.com/csialegalplan.

I am often asked what types of issues come up during these teleconferences. The answer? When there is a free benefit, you really hear all sorts of things. But here are some of the common issues that can be addressed during these free consultations:

  • Developing a strategy for how to reach a finalized agreement with a new customer or for a significant new project.
  • Gaining an understanding about what a particular provision in a proposed contract really means, and how it may differ from your company’s usual risk management policies.
  • Determining what intellectual property issues may need to be addressed when establishing a new customer relationship or developing a new system or product.
  • Formulating a plan to ensure prompt and full payment for your services and deliverables from a customer experiencing financial difficulties.
  • Going through a gut check about the strengths and weaknesses of your side of a brewing project dispute.

With free legal assistance just a phone call (+1 844-204-0090) or e-mail (CSIALegal@FaegreBD.com) away, these free consultations through the CSIA Legal Plan can help your company reach its goals by utilizing best practices in the industry.
