“If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers” - Charles Dickens
In the latest Freelance Heroes podcast, we delve into the legal responsibilities of freelancers and simplify many of the concerns that are held, by putting your questions to Lawyer, Babs Jamieson. The questions we answer include:
- Do all freelancers really need a client contract? If so, what should a contract contain, and is an email sufficient?
- What is IR35, how does it affect me and what do I need to do?
- What is the best way to get clients to pay me on time?
- What does GDPR mean for Brexit?
- How important are privacy policies and what do they cover?
- Do freelancers need to register a trademark?
Some of the questions asked have been submitted by the Freelance Heroes community. So, for this, we need to point out that the responses in this podcast are for information only and cannot be considered as advice. For that, speak to your Lawyer or contact Babs via the links below.
