Legal Protections: Ideas & Information to Consider for Creatives – hybrid

During this hybrid session, we will discuss how it can be overwhelming, confusing, and downright boring, but crucial to safeguard yourself and your business.

Join Annie Clifford, musician and lawyer, in this workshop to discuss ideas and information about using legal strategies and methods to protect your interests, so you can focus on doing what you love.

The discussion will include:

• How to legally protect yourself and your business.
• Understand the importance of creating client contracts, website disclaimers, claiming ownership, and developing privacy policies.
• Discuss legal information and ideas with a lawyer who has helped many creative entrepreneurs secure their businesses.
• Connect with other creatives and learn together as a community.

Annie Clifford will not be providing personalized legal advice at this workshop, and the information that Annie provides at this workshop can’t be relied on as personalized legal advice. Kingston Economic Development and Annie both strongly suggest that participants at this workshop use this as an opportunity to consider how legal practices may affect and protect their own businesses, and that they use it as an opportunity to consider ideas and information they may wish to pursue with a lawyer, retained for giving them advice based on their own unique situations.
