Before You Sign:
What Every Business Owner Should Know
About Signing Contracts
As business owners, we’re constantly presented with contracts — from vendors, service providers, landlords, and collaborators. But not every contract gets to go through an attorney before you sign. Knowing the difference — and what to look for when you’re on your own — is one of the smartest business skills you can build.
Join Laurie Lee, business attorney and founder of The Legal Department, for a practical and empowering session that demystifies contract review for business owners. She’ll share how to approach contracts with confidence, when it’s worth bringing in legal help, and what to do when you need to handle it yourself.
You’ll learn:
-
How to identify key red flags and risky clauses in vendor or service agreements
-
What can be negotiated — and what’s usually non-negotiable
-
When to call your attorney (and when you can save that call)
-
How to make smart, informed decisions without slowing down your business
You’ll walk away knowing how to protect what you’ve built — whether you’re reviewing contracts on your own or with legal support by your side.
Because being a confident business owner means knowing how to protect your business — and when to call in backup.
