Utilization does not always protect you against HR violations.

If you perform on that project unlikely while you are in the middle of it as the partner of the engagement would need to explain this to the client. but once the engagment comes towards the end yes

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.
