A contract is a necessity when engaging in a freelance agreement to ensure your safety and help establish expectations between you and the client. A great contract will give you a solid foundation, boost credibility as a professional and gain experience. Ensuring clear terms of payment, deliverable expectations, intellectual property rights and limitation of liabilities are essential to the success of your contact.

Freelance Contracts: Do’s And Don’ts – Smashing Magazine

In the world of freelancing, the entrepreneur has to take on a number of tasks for themselves that would normally be handled by a separate department at a bigger company. Most of these tasks are not part of the creative processes that freelance workers are used to, but rather are more tedious, left-brain paperwork. Right-brain creatives often shudder at the thought of these forays into linear domains. Such detail-ridden tasks would strain any freelancer who wears multiple hats, but they must be completed.

One such task is contracts. Drafting a contract that covers you, and doesn’t just enumerate information, is more than important: it is a must. Freelancers do not have the benefit of a legal department dedicated to protecting their interests with a watertight contract. Nevertheless, a freelancer’s contract must be comprehensive, concise and clear. It should outline the scope of the job, scheduling demands, the expectations of both parties and more.
