๐ Client: “But what if I just ghost the client instead?”
Lawyer: “Ghosting may work in dating, not in drafting!” ๐ป๐๐
๐ Why this matters?
Even small payment issues can turn into big legal tangles. A clear dispute resolution clause gives you leverage, keeps things professional, and might just stop a client from ghosting you! ๐๐ผ
๐ผ Legal takeaway:
Freelancers, don’t just send an invoice — send a smart contract! With the right clauses, your work (and money) is protected. ๐ฏ๐ธ
