If you’ve read the news lately or chatted with your fellow event pros, then you have a pretty good idea of how challenging client relationships can be these days. Whether you have a client wanting to terminate your services early, demanding a refund post-event, or filing a lawsuit because they were unhappy with your services, some clients are getting increasingly combative. As a result, having a solid legal foundation for how you conduct business is more important than ever. In this talk, seasoned legal pro (and recovering wedding planner) Leah Weinberg will provide you with a comprehensive approach to navigating the murky waters of client disputes and keeping your focus where it belongs – creating memorable events.
Takeaways include:
• Best practices for staying organized in case conflict arises and why your client contract is your best defense in a dispute
• How clear, consistent communication can help manage client expectations and avert disagreements
• What legal issues you may be able to handle on your own vs. when to get an attorney involved
