1. Unfortunately I was unable to meet with my mentor over break because he took time off to be with his family and was only at the office for a short period of time. In addition, his daughter was born over break so he and his wife spent most of their time with the baby. Although I did manage to meet with him a few days before break and that was when we were discussing the details and some of the finishing touches of my independent component.
2. From my discussion with my mentor and one of his associates that deals with the construction of contracts, I learned that having a clear and concise document is important but not as important as that document outlining your clients best interests. This refers to how the client will be perceived in the eyes of the public, how long this document would be in effect and of course a reasonable method of payment. My mentor and his associate used an example of a deal they made with one of their clients and Youtube, I can't state the exact details of the contract for privacy reasons, but in short the client felt like they weren't the same as when they started and ultimately lost their popularity,
3. I would definitely talk to my mentor as he is one of the people that deal directly with the clients as far as getting to know their interests, where they're willing to compromise with another entity and ultimately facilitating knowledge into a deal. In addition to my mentor, I would talk to another lawyer probably not from the same company to see if there are different answers to the questions or different methods.
