SEO & Civil Law: Protecting Yourself from Unfortunate Client Disputes | brightonSEO

6.212 visualizações

Publicada em

While the vast majority of my client relationships have been healthy and happy, a dark cloud hung over me for most of 2015 when a client refused to pay me, resulting in us fighting it out in court (thankfully I won and I've since been paid). In this talk I gave advice on what to do to try and avoid disputes from happening in the first place, as well as how best to protect yourself should one happen, covering everything from contracts to courtrooms.

Talk date: Friday 2nd September 2016
