The vast majority of our freelancing transactions will probably go smoothly, with you and your client agreeing on terms, you doing the work, and your client paying in a timely manner. But “vast majority” is not “all,” and if you freelance for any length of time, you will eventually run into a problem of one sort or another. That’s why, from time to time, creative professionals need help from the experts who understand our challenges and have the expertise to resolve them. At our July 9 meeting (note the special date), attorney/arbitrator Marty Lavine and attorney Jon Lee Andersen discuss contracts, dispute resolution, arbitration, avoiding miscommunication and other common problems, dealing with late-paying clients and much more. This is a great opportunity to address dispute-related questions, contractual concerns, negotiations and any other professional challenges and legal issues. Can you ever hear this advice too often? Our expert panelists:
In 2005, Marty launched online arbitration firm net-ARB.com to fill the void. Over the past ten years, net-ARB has provided binding arbitration solutions for parties on six continents, resolving more than 1,000 cases with total claims in excess of About Jon Lee Andersen

Depending upon your route, you can access Lambert from either Cheshire Bridge or Piedmont. The building is at the end of Lambert, which jogs to the right past the concrete plant. Need a landmark?

You must sign in at the front desk. Then proceed down the hallway to the presentation theater on the right (sign is above the double doors). |
