NOT READY TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY?
I've always been for the underdog. I, like so many of my clients, have a story of overcoming adversity to build something from nothing. I wanted to make sure new entrepreneurs starting out with limited resources had the opportunity to have access to high-quality contracts to protect their work, their creativity, their business. I've developed contracts just for you when promoting and growing your business online. Nothing is more devastating than facing legal consequences as a new business.
When you're starting out, even the smallest mistake can wreck havoc. These contracts are meant to get you started and keep you protected in your early days when your business is still in the start-up phrase. Don't face the "what if's" of not knowing what can happen. Make sure the legal foundation of your business is solid.
