Summary
Hannah's freelance business is growing—bigger clients, bigger opportunities, and bigger risk. She's still working off handshake deals and email threads, and she wants to know exactly when a real contract becomes non-negotiable. Business lawyer Joey Vitale joins Preston to break down why a contract isn't just legal armor, it's a communication tool that sets expectations, prevents scope creep, and keeps every client relationship on solid ground. They dig into the most common contract mistakes freelancers make, from generic templates to a simple LLC naming error that could put your personal assets on the line.
