The System for Everything

5: The System for Breaking Up Without Burning Bridges with Paige Griffith


Listen Later

Ending a working relationship doesn’t have to be a legal or emotional disaster. I sit down with Paige Griffith, founder of The Legal Paige, to talk about the uncomfortable yet necessary art of business breakups. Paige is a former federal law clerk turned online legal educator, known for making the legal side of entrepreneurship approachable and actionable.

We explore why client breakups happen, how to prepare your contracts in advance, and what to do if you're already knee-deep in a mess. Paige shares her real-world horror stories, her favorite contract clauses, and how to keep things professional (and even leave the door open!) when letting someone go.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why non-refundable retainers and termination clauses are your contract MVPs
  • How to handle breakups when there’s no contract in place
  • Scripts, templates, and mindset shifts that help you protect your energy and your reputation
