1467, Setting up the legal side...
Posted by Vesh, Fri Aug-15-08 11:35 AM
Hi I have setup a Family Partnership for a engineering services company but due to the nature of my work, I believe I could very easily be sued for damages.

I have the following legal type questions...

1) What sort of insurances would I need for this type of work?
2) Should this business structure be a "limited" one to protect myself?
3) Are you legally allowed to specify in terms and conditions of contracts that I am not accountable for any 'disasters' occuring from my work?

If the answer is I should just seek professional legal advice, can someone direct me to where I go to find someone ideally experienced in technical consulting of new businesses?

Thanks, Vesh.
