The business

Over the course of the past 7 years we have extensive experience of dealing with contractual, intellectual property, and taxation issues in this particular field, including of course (since its first announcement in March 1999) IR35.  

We have considered and advised on matters related to the contract terms of well over 250 agencies, and our client-base includes well over 800 contractors/consultants, and more than 30 agencies and consultancies (ranging from new start-ups to the long-established), together with numerous software houses, resellers, and other IT-related businesses. 

Roger Sinclair also has a large readership for his regular legal 'problem page' in 'Freelance Informer', a fortnightly magazine published by Reed International plc, and aimed at freelance contractors in the IT industry, where to date he has had over 120 articles published over the period 1996-2001, including many relating to IR35.
