Now the client's new marketing manager is asking for the original InDesign source files to update the brand guidelines internally. Kevin knows the owner, considers him a friend, and doesn't want to damage the relationship. But he also doesn't want to just hand over his work and forfeit any future opportunities. Preston and Clay dig into who really owns those files, what the law says versus what good business sense says, and how to turn a potentially awkward situation into goodwill — maybe even a Google review.
