That sounds like a workable solution. I think itâs important to
distinguish whether the client is hiring us or Mark. If the Client hires Mark
and Mark asks you to assist with work, then Mark is the client for the purpose
of the contract work being done though we would of course have professional
obligations to the client for whom the work is being done. In that case I
think we can bill Mark for your hours. If the Client is hiring you, then
billing (I think) should come from us or at least jointly. It appears to me
that these are Markâs clients and he simply seeks your assistance in a contract
work capacity. In that situation I think your recommendation makes perfect
sense.
Mark Z. and I met yesterday, and he has a handful of EEO cases
we would like to team up on. We have to work out the billing piece
though.
Both Mark and I were thinking it made sense for me to open a
matter here, bill to it hourly, and then submit the bill to Mark at the end of
the month. He would then pay us from the clientâs fee advance. Does
this work for everyone?
Any other suggestions on how to do this?

Subject: Agency EEO Case
Debra,
great to have met in person. I definitely think there are areas we can work
together. I spoke to my client and he is happy to have you come on board to
work on his case.
Let
me know what arrangements we need to make on your end. On my end, I need you to
fill out the attached security paperwork and return it to me. Iâll submit it
for you.
Looking
forward to kicking ass together!
Mark
