Legal & Contracts Workshop for Start Ups, Freelancers & SME’s
This workshop will cover all the key contract and legal issues which freelancers and SME’s face in the Creative and Digital sector. It will help you identify what contracts you need, provide tips on negotiating terms and help you to avoid the big risk areas.
We will cover the best way to collaborate and work with other freelancers and give you tips on how to agree reasonable terms with your clients. The talk will also provide guidance on GDPR and relevant data legislation, best practice policies, and the impact of the new IR35 legislation for freelancers who operate via a personal service company, and their clients.
The workshop will be run by Bristol Media member and lawyer, Rebecca Steer, from Steer and Co. All attendees are welcome to a free of charge follow-up call on any specific contract or legal question.
This legal workshop is recommended for Freelancers, start-ups, existing SME’s, and anyone involved in either running or setting up a small-medium sized business in the Creative, Digital and Tech sectors.
