Abstract
Signing a contract regarding your professional life is one of the most important actions you will take. Like your years of study, this requires a close review of the details, careful thought, and sustained consideration. It is often helpful to have an experienced advisor who is a disinterested party look at it objectively; often, this is an experienced attorney with knowledge of contract law. This chapter details some of the important considerations that you must consider before signing.
