Consultations cover a variety of topics including:  \n• Business transitions  \n• Compliance  \n• Confidentiality agreements  \n• Data privacy  \n• Employment issues  \n• Government programs & regulations  \n• NDAs (Non-disclosure agreements)  \n• Negotiating  \n• Non-solicitation  \n• Policies & procedures  \n• Security  \n• Succession planning  \nPlease note there are limitations to RSPA Legal Consultations, including:  \n RSPA Legal Counsel cannot advise on disputes between members as that presents a conflict of interest.  \n The Legal Counsel does not advise on local (city, county, state, province, etc.) laws and regulations. You should consult an attorney who is authorized to practice in your locale.  \n The Legal Counsel is not authorized to review contracts because attorney/client privilege does not exist between the member and Legal Counsel. Members are permitted to hire the Legal Counsel to review contracts as that would establish attorney/client privilege. Contract guidance is also available through the RSPA’s repository of legal documents and templates.  \nLegal Documents & Templates  \nThe RSPA’s repository of legal documents and templates saves time and money for our members.  \nDozens of documents are available for Customer Contracts and Agreements, Internal and Employment issues, and Security and PCI.
