Lincolnshire Business Attorney — Going Independent, Done Right
Lysinski & Associates P.C. helps Lincolnshire professionals leave a corporate role and go independent from $500, and Adam Lysinski covers the three things that make or break that first year — the entity, the non-compete you're leaving under, and a client contract that gets you paid.
Lincolnshire sits in Lake County's corporate corridor, and many new businesses here start the same way: an experienced professional leaves a large employer to consult. The risk is in what you sign on the way out and the way in.
How Adam helps
- Reviewing your non-compete. Reading the non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality obligations from your old employer so you understand what they actually restrict before you take a client.
- The right entity. Forming the LLC or corporation that shields your personal assets as you take on corporate clients.
- Your first client contract. A master service agreement and statement of work with clear scope, payment terms, IP ownership, and liability limits.
- A clean start. Keeping your new venture separate from your former employer so there is no question about what belongs to whom.

Lincolnshire Business Law Questions.
I'm leaving my job to consult. What do I do first?
Adam reviews your non-compete and confidentiality obligations, forms the right entity, and puts a solid client agreement in place — all before your first engagement.
Should I worry about my non-compete or non-solicitation?
Possibly. Adam reviews it so you understand what it actually restricts before you take on clients, rather than finding out the hard way.
What goes in my first client agreement?
Clear scope, payment terms, IP ownership, and liability limits, drafted so you get paid and stay protected.
I'll be consulting for large companies in the Lincolnshire corridor. What matters most in my master service agreement?
Scope definition, payment timing and late fees, ownership of work product, confidentiality, liability limits, and dispute resolution. Adam drafts the master service agreement and statements of work around these, since with corporate clients the contract is what decides whether you get paid and who's liable when something goes wrong.
How do I keep my new Lincolnshire consultancy cleanly separate from my old employer?
Beyond reviewing your non-compete and non-solicitation, Adam helps you keep finances, equipment, and work product separate and confirms who owns what you create going forward, so there's never a question about what belongs to the former employer and what belongs to your company.
