How do freelancers manage their liability?

Update: 2020-10-26

Description

With Jack
Episode #48: Having a law firm on retainer
Have a contract. Get insured
There are industries that invest a lot into pursuing copyright claims so be aware of licensing agreements when using third-party assets
Creating a document that lists the resources you often use for images, video, music etc and categorising them by licenses can keep you and your clients on the right side of copyright laws
Document everything. The job spec, details around the project, all client communication
Have confirmation of clients signing-off on work. This doesn't have to be anything formal—confirmation via email is OK
If clients ask to have a call about anything they’re unhappy with, suggest they put their concerns in writing instead
If things do escalate via small claims court or your business insurance, you’ll need to gather evidence to defend yourself and this is why it’s important to document everything throughout the project
It will be difficult for the client to argue if you can show that you’ve adhered to everything in black and white
