THE LEGAL STUFF IN BUSINESS CAN SEEM REALLY SCARY.
“There’s a big difference between law in THEORY and law in PRACTICE. Dealing with legal stuff on a human relationship level makes it much less intimidating.” - Shinah
Today, I’m giving you a casual legal education =)
Some of you may know that I used to a corporate lawyer. So I want to break down all the scary “law” stuff in plain terms that you can actually understand.
- What’s the goal of a contract if you DO NOT WANT TO END UP IN COURT? 
- How can you guarantee you get paid by a client? 
- What do you do if you get a dreaded “Cease & Desist Letter”? 
The specific questions I’m answering in this podcast:
- 5:49 - Getting your business legal and permitted 
- 8:40 - When do you need a contract, what should you put in it, how do you know if it’s enforceable? 
- 14:30 - Can you charge late fees if a client pays an invoice after the deadline? How do you even enforce that? 
- 19:23 - A quick overview of COPYRIGHT (I’ll do a much longer episode on this separately)
