More recently, I have focused on data, IT and SaaS contracts for both providers and customers. My clients include NASDAQ-listed companies, a top ranked children’s hospital and local startups.

"I had the pleasure of working with Laura B. on some recent legal matters, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. From start to finish, Laura was professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient. What really stood out to me was how thorough and proactive she was — she didn’t just check the boxes, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was done properly and on time. Legal work can feel overwhelming, but Laura made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She explained everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and stayed one step ahead the entire way. I never had to chase her for updates — she was always on top of it, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who combines legal expertise with such a down-to-earth, approachable style. I felt like I was in really good hands the whole time. I’ll absolutely be working with Laura again for any legal needs that come up in the future, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sharp, dependable, and genuinely helpful attorney."

James D. F.
Unique Hybrid Background ➲ Deep Legal, Tech & Commercial Experience More by pure chance than design, I arrived late in life to pursue a career in law. My background spans more than 3 decades across Information Technology, entrepreneurship & the legal profession supporting my claim to being a 'Deep Generalist'. What is a 'Deep Generalist'? 'The professionals who develop into really great client advisors are deep generalists.' Quote from Warren Bennis. From 2013 I worked for established boutique property, finance & commercial law firms + an award-winning #newlaw firm of senior lawyers (formerly Nexus Law Group, now merged with Arch.law) before founding my digital law firm Blue Ocean Law Group in 2017. I also worked part-time for 2 years as a freelance online expert across all aspects of Australian Law with JustAnswer (H.Q. in San Francisco) and volunteered at the Caxton Legal Centre to give back to the community. Now I offer pro bono (free) legal assistance at my discretion. My achievements in the law are best reflected in the high number of settlements where civil litigation has been avoided, court judgements (incl. successful appeals) in my clients' favour & [90+] testimonials which can be seen on the blueocean.law [700+] page website which offers tons [585+] of both free & paid innovative legal products & resources. My personal experience as a client on the other side of legal matters affords me a unique perspective and goes some way to explaining my passion for the reinvention of the delivery of legal services. I am an early adopter of technology + gadgets, an avid reader and an animal lover. In January 2023, I joined the IAPP – International Association of Privacy Professionals and became a Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States by gaining the highly valued gold-standard ANSI-Accredited CIPP/US credential. I followed this up in August 2023, by obtaining the Certified in CyberSecurity qualification form ISC(2). Pre-Law Background From 1992 to 2002, I worked for Accenture as an IT Project Manager across APAC (including long-term project assignments in New Zealand & Singapore). I started a small business side hustle in 1997 and in 2003 I left Accenture to become a full-time entrepreneur in the transport industry. I later expanded into the mezzanine property development finance market as well as venturing into small-scale property development.Unique Hybrid Background

Graphic Design Agreement
California
Is it necessary to have a written agreement for a graphic design project?
I am a freelance graphic designer and recently I had a client who requested a logo design for their business. We discussed the project details verbally, but I didn't have a written agreement in place. Now that the project is complete, the client is refusing to pay and claiming they are not satisfied with the final design. I'm wondering if having a written agreement in place would have protected me in this situation and if it is necessary for future graphic design projects to avoid similar disputes.
Dawn K.
I always recommend a signed agreement that covers the basics of "Q-TIPS"- this is for educational purposes only, by the way. The 1. Quantity 1 logo- plus, I would add the number of revisions under the agreement, because creative work often needs tweaks and you will be unprofitable when there are hours involved in 6 revisions when you only said 2. Time of Performance- 2 weeks? a month? 6 months? when will the project be done? When will payment be due? 3. Identity of the parties (pretty self-explanatory)4. Price (not your estimate, a contracted price) and 5. Subject matter. Not "logo" but an actual description with the colors, fonts, ideas. Finally, I would encourage project management software, like Trello, or Monday, or Asana, or whatever to track the phases of the project and the critical places the client must sign off on the design or document carefully the requests for revision. In a creative space, like graphic design, the final like or dislike can be subjective. You were hired to create a brand and an identity into a logo- and you didn't get paid. Based on the agreement, this is potentially small claims to enforce a verbal agreement.

Freelance Contract
California
What are the key clauses that should be included in a freelance contract to protect both parties involved?
I have recently started working as a freelance graphic designer and have been approached by a client to work on a project. While I have some experience in freelancing, I have never drafted a freelance contract before and want to ensure that both myself and the client are protected. I would like to know what key clauses should be included in the contract to clearly outline the scope of work, payment terms, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and any other important provisions that will help establish a fair and mutually beneficial agreement.

Hello and welcome to contractscounsel.com! I've drafted plenty of these kinds of contracts so I know what you need to look for. A freelance contract doesn’t have to be super formal, just clear enough to protect both you and your client. You can start with the basics and outline exactly what you’re doing (the scope of work) and what the deliverables are, along with deadlines and how many revisions you’ll include. This avoids the dreaded “scope creep.” As a lawyer, I often have these similar issues because we're essentially freelance, too! Next, lock in your payment terms. Be clear about your rate, when you’ll get paid, and whether you want a deposit upfront. Include something about late fees too, so you’re not stuck chasing invoices forever. Since you’re a graphic designer, cover intellectual property. Decide if the client owns the final work after full payment or if you’re just licensing it to them. Also, say whether you can use the work in your portfolio. In my experience, giving them the work as their own copyright while giving you a license to use it in your portfolio and having Confidentiality is important and then a clause about what happens if a party doesn't pay is smart, too. We draft these kinds of agreements and the last thing you want is unclear instructions on things like this so it'll be worth every penny to post a job right here! Best of luck!
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
