    Contracts are important- and they should be clear in terms of obligations and expectations. One of the most powerful clauses in a contract is the “attorneys fees” provision”. Feel free to contact me for any advice.

    One other thing to keep in mind for design work, or creative work of any kind really, is “who owns the copyright?” Many companies who contract for your services are NOT sophisticated and do not realize that copyright stays with the originator of the work unless specifically contracted for. There are also statutory limitations- but that’s a one on one discussion for anyone who cares to have it.

      A “work made for hire” is— (1) a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment; or (2) a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, as an instructional text, as a test, as answer material for a test, or as an atlas, if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be considered a work made for hire. (17 U.S.C. § 101)
