The importance of contracts

 

 

Contracts are how we establish our relations with our clients. It is how we set each party’s expectations and how to respond to the different scenarios. They may vary, but some is the essential points to take into account are:

Work: It should be clear what the person will do and how the work will be delivered.

Payment: Besides how much the person will be paid, it should inform how, how often.

Intellectual Property: It should be crystal clear who will keep the rights on the work done.

 

Applicable law: We all work with people all over the world so it is important to let people know under which law everything should be handled.

 

Confidentiality: Regardless your field of service, every task performed by someone you hire or if you are the independent contractor, confidentiality is key so both parties are protected.
