Do You Know Your Value?

As a consultant, coach, or freelancer, you're likely creating valuable intellectual property – from unique tools and processes to content and logos – without even realizing its worth. This IP, whether protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or patent, holds significant value for your clients. Are you recognizing this value in your pricing and taking steps to protect these crucial assets?

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late

As a consultant or freelancer, you might think the "legal stuff" begins when you sign a client agreement. But what about those crucial pitch meetings? Sharing your valuable ideas without protection can be risky. That's where NDAs come in. Having your own ready ensures your confidential information stays safe before any formal agreement.
