Source Evidence
Source text
there are important distinctions in applying the Code language to a consulting practice and applying the language in the context of an employment relationship
Text references
Because of the relatively dynamic nature of private consulting practice, engineering firms frequently establish joint ventures and subcontracts, hire additional qualified personnel
in the former situation, the firm has a good deal more discretion and flexibility
in the instant situation, from a practicality standpoint, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible
