PICA Simplifies Contracting for Independent Consultants with New Partnership

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Professional Independent Consultants of America, Inc. (PICA) announces its partnership with Lawgood, an online platform to generate and review legal contracts. PICA is dedicated to helping solopreneurs build and grow their businesses, and contracting can be one of the most challenging areas to master. Many consultants struggle with developing the appropriate legal contracts to protect themselves and their business in a client relationship. Now with Lawgood, members of PICA can create customized, state-specific contracts for free in as little as 10 minutes.

"PICA is excited to provide Lawgood's contracting services to self-employed professionals," said Liz Steblay, co-founder and chief advocate. "For years, solopreneurs have been at a disadvantage when it comes to contracting because they usually can't afford to hire an attorney, even if they could find one to do such a small piece of work. The Lawgood solution is fast, easy, and affordable – just what a self-employed professional needs."

Technology is changing the scope of every industry, even law. With Lawgood, members of PICA receive legal advice on their consulting contracts in a simple, easy way. In addition to free contract generation, members of PICA can have their contracts reviewed by a lawyer for less than $100 per contract. As the contract is reviewed, consultants can receive a customized report of red flags, plus tips on how to strengthen their contracts with clients.

"For the majority of consulting contracts, or when hiring subcontractors, Lawgood provides an economical solution for creating or reviewing legal contracts," said Henry Telfeian, general counsel of PICA. "Many self-employed professionals don't bother to have their client contracts reviewed because they don't have access to economical legal advice. Now they'll be able to better understand what they're signing and protect their own interests."

Contracts are critical to building and protecting a business, and Lawgood offers a simple and affordable way to help independent consultants grow their businesses.

"The combination of real trusted lawyers and artificial intelligence is changing the scope of entrepreneurship," said Liam Moriarty, co-founder of Lawgood. "By partnering with PICA, Lawgood is excited to help more people further their goals to become successful independent professionals in an affordable way."
