“Don’t worry, we’ll work out the details as we go.” If you’ve ever said that to a client, this one’s for you!
A handshake deal feels simple at first. Then expectations start to shift, the workload triples, and nobody can point to what you actually agreed to. A verbal agreement can still be binding, but proving what was promised is another story. Without a written scope of services and clear termination terms, the deal only gets harder to manage the longer it runs.
In this short, we show the importance of putting it in writing to protect both your work and your client relationships. Consultants, agency owners, contractors, and service providers: if you’re still working on a handshake, Way Law can help you put the right agreements in place.
