Before sending your contract out, it’s a great idea to discuss some of the high-level items in your contract with your client first so that there aren’t any surprises. You can discuss things like payment terms or ownership of copyright. If your client requests any changes that you are okay with, you can make those changes before sending your contract to them. If there are major changes, or you aren’t sure how those changes might affect your rights, we recommend hiring a local lawyer to discuss any proposed changes before agreeing to them.
