Contract Negotiation Strategies Workshop

Ever signed a contract not knowing what a Force Majeure means? Unsure if the indemnity clause is fair to you? Lawyer Roland Samosir will go over strategies that SEPs/Freelancers can use when they are faced with difficult clauses in contracts.

Participants will go over 1 or 2 commonly disputed clauses with an eye towards applying the techniques shown. Participants will be encouraged to bring examples of difficult clauses to the workshop.
