Recently, I was contracted to handle a conference. The client sent me the agreement and asked me to hurry and get it back to her because they want to start March 1. It looked pretty reasonable to me but, as a precaution, I had a lawyer review it.
She found a major oversight as the client indicated that the fee included hotel and airfare. That would have required me to pay upwards of $3,000. It was the client being slick but it was caught. I talked to her and after going back and forth, they relented and paid it.
So, had I not faxed it to my attorney, I would have absorbed my own airfare and lodging. The fee I paid her was well worth the mistake that would have cost me thousands.
Thank you, Counselor.
