Contract Essentials for Freelancers

A step-by-step course that gives you the legal knowledge and tools to protect your business with contracts

Are you frustrated by clients who pay late? Clients who want you deliver more than you agreed to provide (aka "scope creep")? Legal jargon that you don't understand?

In this course, I take you step-by-step through the process of writing a client service agreement. While other courses may just give you the template, in this comprehensive course I explain the legal jargon, how to avoid common pitfalls, and the reasoning behind why you should have these critical clauses as the foundation of every client agreement you enter. The goal of this course is to empower you with the legal knowledge, must-know vocabulary and analytical tools to read, understand and write client contracts that communicate your values and protect your business interests.

This course will cover:

  • Contract Terminology and Important Clauses
  • Creating Your Client Service Agreement
  • Resolving Contract Disputes
  • Contract Systems & Tools
