Description:
Business Contracts! Service Contracts! Independent Contractor Agreements! Release of Liability! Equipment Leases! Non-Disclosure Agreements! Noncompete Agreements and so much more!
These are all #CONTRACTS! Small business owners sign multiple contracts throughout the different stages of their business.
Often, contracts are seen only as something a small business owner signs with a vendor or a customer. Contracting relates to many different aspects of a business. So, start 2021 off right – armed with information that can assist you with contracting. Part Three will cover commercial lease agreements giving a full overview of your rights or obligations under the lease.
Attorney Shawn Harju will conduct this training. Shawn has been in the legal industry for over 30 years, 20 of which have been spent practicing law in the Puget Sound region. Shawn’s experience includes private practice (in small and mid-size firms) and serving as in-house counsel. In both instances, clients have relied on Shawn to help them be proactive and practical in their risk management and problem-solving. She works with employees at all levels of business organizations to address a variety of issues ranging from overall operations to procurement, contract negotiations, and resolution of disputes to employment and compliance matters.
