Description

As businesses begin to scale, there inevitably are more legal risks and exposures to their businesses. This webinar will help small businesses identify potential legal pitfalls and steps they can take to mitigate their liability via contracts and scale in a legally protective manner.

 

The webinar will cover and help you better understand how to create legally protective contracts for your business as well as what commercial clauses to look for and tips on how to negotiate your contract. 

 

 

In this webinar we’ll explain: 

 

  • Why clear, written contracts are crucial to protecting your business from risk and liability?
  • The legalese in your company's contracts is important so you can better write and negotiate contracts on behalf of your business.
  • The importance of the (a) Services Agreement, (b) Independent Contractor Agreement, and (c) the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
  • The different types of commercial contract clauses you will come across and tips to strengthen your ability to negotiate.
