Decoded & Protected: Understanding Legalese in Business Contracts

Feeling intimidated by the fine print? In this workshop, we’re cutting through the legal jargon and giving you the tools to actually understand what you’re signing. Whether you’re navigating independent contractor agreements, licensing contracts, NDAs, or influencer agreements, you’ll learn the key phrases to watch for, what rights you're signing away (or gaining), and how to negotiate terms that work in your favor. It's time to go from “Wait, what does that mean?” to “I’ve got this.”
