Episode 056 – Develop Your Contract Strategy

Listen to this episode of Simplifying Legal for Small Business Owners using the player above or check it out on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Creating a legal strategy is very similar to creating a business plan. You’re just putting an emphasis on fitting legal into your overall business strategy. Even so, you need to have a strategy for different aspects of legal too, depending on your needs and the type of business you have.

In this episode, I take a look at a particular legal sub-strategy: developing your contract strategy. While the idea of having this kind of strategy may seem advanced, it really isn’t. I discuss what it is and who needs one, the areas for consideration of what to include in one, and how a contract strategy affects your business.

Please subscribe if you haven’t already. And if you like the show, I’d love it if you’d give it a review wherever you listen to podcasts!
