Designers – Protect Yourself and Your Designs!
If you are a designer working with freelancers and you don't think you need a contract of employment then think again!
As a young designer or new business start up you need to be aware of your rights and how to protect yourself and this is why areas such as Employment Law are vital for you to understand. This is why we have teamed up with Irenicon on a new initiative called KoffeKlatch. KoffeeKlatch service is designed to provide downloads and live advice where business people can sit down at their own desk or in their kitchen with a cup of coffee and talk to people who can really help them solve their problems, without paying the cost of one to one consultations.
