Pollinators - CityHive184 Marine TerraceGeraldton, WA6530 Map
Do you have any burning questions about business and legal contracts? Geraldton commercial lawyer Christina Ware is here to answer them!
Register here: www.eventbrite.com.au/e/fireside-chat-get-it-in-writing-with-christina-ware-tickets-185391851017
Small businesses deal with an array of contracts throughout their life-cycle from leases to employment contracts, terms and conditions, privacy statements, non-disclosure agreements and more. The importance of contracts is often unrecognised until something goes wrong. And things do go wrong!
Get insights into how agreements and contracts can support or break a business and hear some of Christina's contract 'war' stories while taking away lessons for your business.
This Q&A style chat is a terrific chance to talk to an experienced commercial lawyer - without the bill.
Get the answers to your burning questions like:
-You say 'get it in writing', but what writing actually counts as a contract?
-How can I minimise my liability to my customers for things I can't control?
-I've written contracts myself. They don't use the language like lawyers. Is that a problem? What can go wrong?
-What are the key steps in arranging a contract to make it binding?
-What does binding mean?
-How can I prepare better contracts or terms, but without big lawyer fees?
FIRESIDE CHATS*
Our Fireside Chat sessions are a fun and interactive chance to pick the brains of veteran professionals and entrepreneurs in an safe environment of inquisitive small business owners. Our Business Advisors facilitate the session and pre-prepare their own questions - ensuring the session is engaging and informative while you're formulating your own queries.
This isn't about our guest selling themselves or their business. All of our guest speakers are genuinely participating to share their knowledge and experiences to help you get ahead.
