    But when the client objects to being held to ransom and says "OK, good luck with that, then", you have a choice of either crawling and admitting that you lied, or walking into nothing.

    Crawling back isn't going to strengthen your position if you want to negotiate an increase in the future, either.
    True, but not asking isn't going to get you a payrise either.....

      Same concerns for me as others with this.

      Old EB has lost contract with end client and both the end client and new EB want to contract with your Ltd.

      Fine in principle - but check your contract with the old EB for handcuffs.

      However, a MoA to make you and offer and take you on is an understanding with you and not your Limited. This is absolutely inappropriate.

      You are negotiating a contract between your Ltd and the new EB and no less. It must be with your Ltd and nothing less than a contract will do.

      That you have already held discussions for their hire of you the man/woman and not to reach an agreement for your Ltd to supply someone screams working practices at me and would make me nervous, irrespective of the paperwork. The conduct is relevant to the hypothetical contract.

      Your call at the end of the day though.
