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)
