Nailing Your Scope of Work: Contracts for Consultants and Freelancers

The Gig Economy has arrived. By 2027, the majority of American workers will be independent contractors and will need reliable contracts.

As a consultant or solo professional, you need to turn your proposals into enforceable agreements. In this seminar, Carrie Green Yardley will teach you the basic principles you need to know when you negotiate, draft, and review your contracts.

Attend this workshop to learn:

How to use S.M.A.R.T. principles to prepare your scope of work
Which essential elements need to be included in your agreement
How the “four corners” rule ensures you and your client have a complete agreement
What to look for if your client wants to use their own contract forms
What language you need to avoid in your agreements

There's no charge for this workshop.
