About this class

When it comes to launching a successful app or website, knowing how to navigate legal hurdles can be just as important as knowing how to code. For freelance developers looking to start their own businesses, gaining an understanding of the different laws, contracts, and regulations involved in creating a company is an essential part of getting their startup off the ground.

In our bootcamp, you’ll get an overview of the different legal requirements you’ll need to consider as you form and launch your freelance or development business. From learning how to deal with intellectual property laws to properly identifying and evaluating stakeholder contracts, you’ll get the legal know-how you need to make your company scalable and investor ready.

Takeaways

  • Identify a legal roadmap of the steps needed to take to either launch or optimize your freelance and development business.
  • Understand the IP rights in the code and content you create and learn how to protect and monetize those rights.
  • Understand the important terms in the contracts you’ll be drafting and receiving.
  • Understand how to structure client engagements, keep projects moving along, and get approval and payment for hitting milestones.
