Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello. I am Ed, a Solicitor qualified in England and Wales with over a decade’s experience in the legal profession advising clients.
I specialise in Commercial Contracts, Business Transactions, Employment, Dispute Resolution, Personal Injury and Road Traffic Law and shall be reviewing your legal problem today.
I shall be delighted to talk with you by phone to discuss your issue in greater detail if you accept the site’s automatic offer of a Premium Service Phone Call.
This sounds like a very interesting business opportunity. I am delighted that you have had the foresight to seek legal advice from a solicitor and am hopeful that I can advise you further on the necessary legal steps to realise your commercial aims in this matter.
Please upload a copy of the contract and provide me with some more information about your intentions and concerns.
Thank you for that further information. I am considering my reply which I will post shortly. Please note that Just Answer is not an “Instant Messaging” service and therefore it may take me some time to research your issue and draft a reply. However, I have your enquiry well in hand and appreciate your patience.
I have put a bespoke offer through on the Portal for a Premium Service Document Review and telephone consultation. The fee is in addition to your ordinary Just Answer subscription. If you accept, I will pass you my direct email address and mobile phone number through on the Portal and can accept your direct contact details.
I can review a brief amount of documentation from the customers (up to 20 pages or so).
The phone calls generally last around 20 – 30 minutes at most. I will let you know if we are going around in circles and I am repeating myself.
You will not receive any additional documentation from me or Just Answer (apart from payment confirmation).
I will discuss my fees with my main virtual law firm on the call. Under my Just Answer Expert Agreement, I cannot provide Customers any direct contact details or information about my law firm’s charges unless they accept a Premium Service Phone Call.
If you choose to instruct me directly through my law firm, this will be a different contract from yours with Just Answer. I will open a new client-matter for you with my firm and send you retainer documentation in the form of a Client Care Letter and Terms of Engagement.
OK, thanks for that further info. I am logging off platform for the evening but will answer your enquiry tomorrow morning.
Sorry for the delay. I have now reviewed the clause and it is very poorly drafted, convoluted and unclear. It appears to be some kind of Intellectual Property Rights Indemnity in favour of your client.
It would assist if you can upload a copy of the full contract to the portal and provide me with some background as to the business relationship. At present, I do not have sufficient details to advise with certainty.
I hope this is a satisfactory initial reply to your question and you understand my recommendations. Please revert to me if you do not understand anything and require clarification of my answer and I shall be delighted to assist.
I can also offer a Premium Service Consultation for an additional fee if you need detailed and bespoke legal advice. If you accept, I will pass you my direct email address and phone number. I can review any relevant documentation and consult with you by telephone for around 20 minutes. This will give you a clearer picture of your legal position and your potential options for progressing the matter to the next stage.
Kind regards

Yes, I think any reworkings for the documentary will be protected as well.
