An Overview:
We believe our
breadth of experience gained (Roger Sinclair has been 'in the law' since 1973,
and has specialised in this field since 1994), coupled with a deep understanding
of the real world issues faced by those working in IT, places us in an
unrivalled position to offer the best and most relevant legal service to our
Clients.
We are dedicated to
offering a wholly personal and expert service, delivered promptly and
efficiently, and to doing our best to offer value for money.
As “egos”, Roger Sinclair of Egos Ltd also
wrote a regular legal page in Freelance Informer, a magazine for
Computer Contractors, from early 1996 until the magazine’s closure in late 2001.
Later on in these pages you'll find links to the text of over 140 past articles
he has written, containing a wealth of advice on a variety of issues affecting
IT contractors.
