JOIN the Small Business Support Program with The Chamber to learn how to avoid costly "handshake disasters" and understand the basics of business contacts.
Whether you're starting out or scaling an established business, overlooking contract fundamentals can expose you to significant and unnecessary risk.
In this practical session, Dr. Rupak Sarma (SB LLP) will walk through the real-world importance of getting your contracts right from the outset. Using relatable examples, Dr. Sarma will show how a modest upfront investment in a well-drafted contract (often as little as $1,000) can prevent disputes that cost many times more to resolve.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Why informal or “handshake” agreements often fail when it matters most.
The essential building blocks every business contract should include.
How provisions such as limitation of liability and clear termination (“clean break”) clauses protect your bottom line
The true cost of reactive legal decisions—and how to avoid them.
THIS SESSION IS FOR everyone from startups, home based business entreprenuers, soloprenuers, small bushiness owners, up to large companies.
Stay after the session to connect with fellow local business owners over coffee and snacks. It’s a great opportunity to exchange ideas, ask questions, and grow your network – all in one place.
