Lesson 9

Assignment: Do some research and draft your own contract template. Find (by googling) and read several templates; google any terms you don’t understand; get familiar with the language. Pick 1 or 2 templates and look over them with the “10 Key Points to Include in Every contract” in mind. Are all 10 there? Do they look different? Does anything need to be added or amended? Are there things in the contract that aren’t specifically relevant to you that could be removed?
